7.2 x 5.2 x 4.7 cm. Palermoite is a very rare phosphate, first found in 1952 at this type locality for the species. To date, it has been found at just a few other locales, and still these crystals are the best. This particularly rich specimen is one of the larger, richer specimens with display aesthetics overall, according to Bob Whitmore. It has hundreds of palermoite crystals, many still covered by pocket clay just the way he found it. The top portion has been cleaned a bit, to reveal sharp crystals to 4mm nicely contrasted on lustrous, dark smoky quartz. Ex. Robert Whitmore Collection.
