This is a very good specimen of this remarkably rare iron phosphate consisting of wonderful, sharp, lustrous, gemmy, deep green, layered crystal groups of Ludlamite associated with lustrous gemmy blue Vivianite crystals sitting atop Pyrite matrix. The largest Ludlamite group of crystals measures 1.9 cm long and the largest Vivianite crystal measures 0.7 cm. There have been no more of these specimens found in the last 5 years from this locality, and it is a possibility there will never be any more.
