A showy combination specimen of phosphates from the famous Leveaniemi Iron Mine of Sweden. Lustrous, lavender strengite spheres to 3 mm are aesthetically and richly scattered with sea-foam green spheres of rockbridgeite to 4 mm in a 3-dimensional vug atop massive hematite matrix. These specimens were collected in the mid-1980s and the mine is now closed. Ex. George Elling Collection.This Photo was Mindat.org Photo of the Day - 8th Aug 2008
