You are bidding on a small sample of chert with small vugs hosting beautiful clusters of this as yet undescribed new iron aluminum phosphate species from the type and only locality. The crystals are inherently twinned, and the search is underway to find a suitable crystal for XRD work to determine the structure. Very hard to find a sample of this species!
