This is a specimen of the rare RED uvites (more rare than the greens) from Brumado, on the familiar matrix of sparkly crystalline magnesite rhombs. There are dozens of little crystals here in rich clusters on the large matrix. Absolutely beautiful contrast! The uglier little beige crystals are examples of super-rare florencite, in sharp crystals for the species.
