Description

You are bidding on a small miniature that is the best example of the recent new find of nizamoffite that I am willing to part with! The small vug hosts hundreds of tiny, colorless prismatic nizamoffite crystals in bundles with mangangordonite. These crystals show 90' twinning which had not been reported for the species to date, and is currently under study. The cluster of twinned crystals will make a wonderful photograph with a proper stacking setup. Self-collected in October of 2018 and one of the best samples of the find! Second world locality for this extremely rare species and very few samples were recovered.
