Description

Rich small miniature of pink to pale purple micaceous murmanite on the typical pale matrix. Very good lustre for specie and locality. I do not have the exact locality for it, although I believe it comes from Selsurt Mountain.
In excellent conditions for the specie, quite rich. The pasted label seems like S. Adrian collection (UK) although no descriptive label came with it.
