Description

Fangite is a very rare thallium sulfosalt found at just three world localities, and most specimens come from the famous Allchar site. Here a complex matrix, mostly made of undetermined brownish arsenates (scorodite?) hosts deep-red subhedral loràndite crystals and a neat druse of intense orange fangite crystals, just 5 microns each but arranged in a rather appealing way as small stalactites. Analyzed specimen (data available on request).
