This is a very rare, relatively rich specimen of this rare uranium phosphate from teh type locality in Cornwall. It features beautiful crystals to 2.5 mm i nvugs all around the specimen. Bassetite is a very rare uranium mineral - I have never seen another for sale, in fact. This particular specimen could easily be trimmed to make for several nice examples , in smaller sizes.
