Superb group of penetration-twin psuedo-octahedral crystals from the locality of the world's best for the species. HUGE XLS, too!
CR13 - Wardite & Goyazite on Lazulite - $ 750 Rapid Creek, Yukon, Canada miniature, 4.3 x 3.1 x 2.2 cm
This is from a small pocket of wardites hit adjacent to and overlapping with the goyazite zone, and seemingly of unique chemistry which has resulted in a seafoam green color to the wardite, making them MUCH prettier than normal! This one features a wardite of almost 2 cm, perched among really large goyazite crystals to 4 mm (superb in and of themselves!). With this specimen, you get the best of both new finds here!

This one features a a dozen wardites to 1 cm, perched among really large goyazite crystals to 3 and 4 mm (superb in and of themselves!), with minor lazulite.
CR16 - Wardite, Goyazite - $ 600 SOLD Rapid Creek, Yukon, Canada thumbnail, 2.7 x 2.1 x 1.8 cm

CR17 - Wardite, Goyazite - $ 950 SOLD Rapid Creek, Yukon, Canada thumbnail,
This is from a small pocket of wardites hit adjacent to and overlapping with the goyazite zone, and seemingly of unique chemistry which has resulted in a seafoam green color to the wardite, making them MUCH prettier than normal! This one features a wardite of 1.5 cm on edge or a whopping 2 cm across longest dimension, perched amongst HUGE white goyazite crystals to 5 mm (superb in and of themselves!). Almost certainly the best crystal of its type, from this pocket. Note that it could be trimmed into a killer thumbnail...!
CR18 - Wardite with Gordonite - $ 750 SOLD Rapid Creek, Yukon, Canada miniature, 5.6 x 3.7 x 1.1 cm
This is NOT one of the new wardites, but rather a more typical one in here both because it is unusually good as well for what it is, and to contrast the typical coloration to the new ones. These are SUPER-SHARP and LUSTROUS , and its really uncommon to get so many good crystals on matrix like this, and in good condition. The small yellow specks are actually eye-visible crystals of the rare species Gordonite and actually this piece is about the richest you can hope to get of that species...it richly covers the front and back, both.

This one features a wardites to 8 mm, perched among goyazite crystals to 2 mm (superb in and of themselves!), and so a good example of both species.
