Description

You are bidding on a small sample with abundant balls and crystalline coatings of erythrite on matrix from this very obscure and unusual locality for the species. The mineral was sight identified by the collector and traded to me. An analysis may be very interesting.... Collected by Hiromi Yamasaki. Not pretty for the species but very unusual to have a Japanese erythrite!
