Hålsjöberg, Torsby, Värmland County, Sweden
Class:

Small miniature (3-4.5 cm)

Description

Pale blue scorzalite and/or trolleite with orange monazite-(ce) (maybe svanbergite?) on blueish berlinite.

Well, there are several similar  mineral species present at the locality and the analysis would probably cost more than the value - so, I'd say two thirds of the species are 'visual ID' only, with no guarantee. Labeled 'scorzalite'.
