You are bidding on a larger sample with numerous vugs with a host of rare species from the Diamond Jo Quarry. One vug hosts a beautiful 'nest' of lourenswalsite with labuntsovite in the center. Another hosts a tiny cluster of yellow kassite prisms, while others host small clusters of pink delindeite crystals, tablets of labuntsovite, sprays of pectolite and other minerals. Trimming would produce multiple micros.
