Description

This might be a chance to obtain a new discovery for Lavrion. As far as I know, nakauriite is not yet described from Lavrion.I had this specimen analyzed and it came with a ?-label from a Lavrion-collection. We are 100% sure the locality is right. As long as this specimen is not analyzed further with better equipment I guarantee for nakauriite.
