CHERNOVITE-(Y)$500.00
Wire transfers available, to set up
A 2.5 mm diameter waxy brown crystal of the extremely rare yttrium arsenate Chernovite-(Y) on matrix with small Quartz crystals from the famous occurrence in the high Alps at Wanni Glacier (Wannigletscher), Binn Valley, Wallis, Switzerland. Chernovite-(Y) forms a series with the phosphate end-member Xenotime-(Y) but while Xenotime-(Y) is quite widespread worldwide Chernovite-(Y) is far from it. This lovely miniature is from the superb systematic collection assembled by brothers Martin and Michael Günther (1951-2007 & 1956-2021).
