This is a very good specimen of this remarkably rare iron phosphate consisting of wonderful, sharp, lustrous, gemmy, rich green, layered crystal groups of Ludlamite sitting atop a small slab of matrix. There are truly about 5 localities in the world the produce fine crystallized Ludlamite specimens, and ALL of them, except for Huanuni and now defunct. PLEASE NOTE: 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.
