Phosphophyllite
Phosphophyllite is one of the most rare and beautiful species in the entire mineral world, and arguably, the most beautiful phosphate species extant. Many collectors and dealers alike treasure this species for its immense scarcity and immeasurable combination of form and unique color. This specimen is from a brand new find for the species in the Machacamarca mining district in Bolivia. It is not from the typical locality at the Unificada mine in Potosi. It features dozens if not hundreds of exceptionally rare, translucent, incredibly beautiful green color, euhedral "butterfly"-twinned crystals measuring up to 7 mm of this great phosphate on matrix. This is a very rich specimen from a very exciting new find, which hopefully could one day produce specimens of the same size and quality as those from Unificada.
