A very interesting specimen of charlesite cores surrounded by sturmanite (they are a series, and portions of the crystal are of different species, thus). These crystals are unusually well-formed to be so rich in charlesite, of which they mostly are composed. Charlesite is more white and lighter yellow, while the sturmanite is darker in hue as a general rule.
