6.4 x 3.4 x 2.9 cm. A gormanite specimen (a phosphate unfamiliar to many: Fe++3Al4(PO4)4(OH)6•2(H2O) of rare quality from Rapid Creek (known mostly for its lazulites), a really great specimen for what it is! There is one rather large, brushy cluster here, and several smaller sprays speckled about. The gormanite is beautifully isolated on a bed of transparent siderite crystals, which is another reason this specimen is special.

Exceptional crystals of gormanite in isolated groups to 1 cm, from a rare one-time find perhaps 20 years ago in Linopolis. These are seldom seen on the market today and so most folks think the best comes from Canada - but to my eye, these crystals from Brazil will always be better. 6.8 x 3.2 x 2.1 cm
