Extremely rare! This piece represents the largest of only 5 known specimens from the type locality!! Platey, hexagonal, intergrown crystals of nukundamite occur in small vugs. The sawn surface shows nukundamite veinlets and disseminated pyrite. A really excellent miniature of this extremely rare mineral. Richard Kosnar collection label.
