Description

This specimen presents the first public appearance of newly discovered veszelyite crystals from Central Bosnia! The old locality, known under the name of Zdravo Vrelo (Health Spring) was rediscovered in 2020 by a local mineral collector Jozo Puljić from Kreševo. The samples were analyzed by XRD and EDS and the analyses confirmed that the blue-green crystals are veszelyite. The largest veszelyite crystals found on this occasion were 7 mm long, which makes this locality highly competitive with other veszelyite localities in the World.

the specimen offered here is a small miniature with several dozen lustrous up to 1 mm large razor-sharp veszelyite crystals perched on the saccharoidal dolomite host rock.
