This is a small specimen. But it is big on unusual, golden yellow, curly tuperssuatsiaite, which is naked eye visible. Moreover, this is an analyzed specimen (hence the starting bid – verified tuperssuatsiaite from Saint-Amable is hard to come by). FOV in the close-up photo is 6.8 x 4.4 mm. In total, the tupperssuatsiaite spans about 11 mm.

Note: In the Saint-Amable sill, tuperssuatsiaite, is generally visually indistinguishable from yofortierite. According to EDS (last “photo”), this is clearly not yofortierite, In fact, the analyst suggested “amphibole group”. However, Horváth recently reported that tuperssuatsiaite is more common in the sill than previously thought, and it seemed to me that the EDS is more consistent with that possibility. (Al, Mg and especially Mn have been found in “significant” amounts in tuperssuatsiaite from Greenland.) This has now been confirmed via XRD at CMN.
