Description

This is a rich, excellent example of this rare mineral from the type locality. I was keeping this one but finally decided to sell it as part of those liquidation auctions that I am launching. This is a very rich, double sided specimen of white to beige Kamarizaite, associated with brown jarosite crystals and possible some natrojarosite. Unfortunately, I have no more pieces left and I am told that these will not be found again..
