Description
One of the new finds from the summer collecting in Bolivia. While these specimens are not a new find per se, they are new specimens from a well known locality. This specimen features a nice, sharp, highly lustrous, well formed, prismatic, gray crystal of Danburite measuring 1.9 cm and sitting atop white Talc matrix. It is not common to find the Danburite crystals from this locality on matrix. An interesting historical note about this locality: Supposedly the mineral was first discovered in the tomb of a cacique (a native Indian chief) where they had been placed jewels to signify that he was rich. The find of these crystals was made near there. Ex. Brian Kosnar.
