This is a fine specimen of the very rare iron phosphate featuring wonderful, sharp, somewhat lustrous, gemmy, green crystal groups of Ludlamite sitting atop brown Siderite matrix. The Ludlamite crystal group measures 1.0 cm across. PLEASE NOTE: There have been no more of these specimens found in the last 7 years from this locality, and it is a possibility there will never be any more due to the fact that the mine has now been nationalized, and is the miners have zero opportunity to collect specimen.
