Description

You are bidding on a large sample with a vug system hosting dozens of small brown prisms of the new mineral jasonsmithite, associated with minor whiteite-CaMnMn. This is the largest matrix sample that will ever be offered to the public of this species, and is one of the very few known samples that I collected. There will be no more of this species found as collecting is no longer permitted on the dumps. Comes with signed label!
