Description

Interesting fluoride specimen consisting of cryolite with vuggy parts where microcrystals of several fluoride species are present.

Krantz mentions "hagemannite" which is a mixture of thomsenolite with ralstonite and goethite and pachnolite. There are two arrows fixed on the specimen as Krantz determined the sample (see pictures).

I am not an Ivigtut specialist but this one should be very interesting for the connoisseur.
