Hilarionite is an ultra rare hydrated iron arsenate and this mine is the type locality for the species in the famous and ancient Lavrion District in Greece. It was a new species approved in 2011 and has been only found in a handful of other localities worldwide since. This vibrant specimen consists of a myriad of tiny, less than 1 mm, botryoids (almost like tiny cauliflower-like heads) all over the top two-thirds of a thin plate of matrix. This is a very rich, colorful and excellent example of this very rare species from the notable Greece collection of collector Christos Spiromitros. It could also be trimmed into a number of small, very rich and fine, specimens.
