Wardite With Gordonite
Unknown Owner
Help improve this recordNo owner is registered for this specimen yet. If it's yours or you know more about it, you can add the owner, provenance, publications and other details.
This is NOT one of the new wardites, but rather a more typical one in here both because it is unusually good as well for what it is, and to contrast the typical coloration to the new ones. These are SUPER-SHARP and LUSTROUS, and its really uncommon to get so many good crystals on matrix like this, and in good condition. The small yellow specks are actually eye-visible crystals of the rare species Gordonite and actually this piece is about the richest you can hope to get of that species...it richly covers the front and back, both.
