You are bidding on the richest sample of foggite I have yet offered with a very vuggy piece of pegmatite hosting dozens of clusters of the mineral in several different habits with rounded plates of goyazite. Very rich sample collected in the 1960s and originally labeled fairfieldite! From my personal suite of Palermo minerals.
