Description
A matrix specimen hosting a very SHARP 2.2-cm triphylite crystal, quite good for the species. Historically, this locality was famous for such - but they are now rare. Obtained in 1992 from the Curt Segeler collection. A label on the back of the specimen itself indicates it was found in 1948.
