Description

A superb specimen of lustrous, partly gemmy, brown to clear wardite, nicely perched on matrix. This is a very good specimen of this phosphate, as the octahedral crystals are sharp and striated. So far I can see it is pristine on display side and shows a great aesthetic for this uncommon species.
