This is a lovely miniature matrix specimen which features a cluster of tabular, parallel growth, lustrous and translucent, burnt-orange bastnasite crystals, measuring 9 mm across. Resting on one edge of the bastnasite cluster is a rhombhedral crystal of lustrous and translucent, colorless dolomite, 8 mm in length. Exquisite rarity in matrix from a classic locale! Ex. Martin Zinn collection.
