2.7 x 2.1 x 1.8 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 sea-foam green color to the wardite, making them MUCH prettier than normal! This one features a wardites to 1.1 cm, perched among really large goyazite crystals to 2-3 mm, with minor lazulite.
3.9 x 3.5 x 1.8 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 sea-foam green color to the wardite, making them MUCH prettier than normal! This one features 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.
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 sea-foam 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!).
11.9 x 11.7 x 3.8 cm. This is a large phosphate nodule from this classic locality which is very rich in some of the rare species found mostly in older specimens and not around so much in pieces collected in more recent times. The bright green is the Variscite with a large amount of canary-yellow Crandalite and some gray Wardite present around the green core. The darker green circles are Montgomeryite, for which this is the type locality. Ex. Rice Northwest Museum Collection.
17.5 x 13.3 x 1.1 cm. A beautiful specimen of chrysoprase-colored, turquoise-blue variscite rimmed by and included by streaks of canary-yellow crandallite. There is some gray Wardite present is well. This is a rare association, and the contrast is striking. Ex. Rice Northwest Museum Collection.
21.0 x 13.4 x 0.5 cm. A beautiful specimen of chrysoprase-colored, turquoise-blue variscite rimmed by and included by streaks of canary-yellow crandallite. There is some gray Wardite present is well. This is a rare association, and the contrast is striking. Ex. Rice Northwest Museum Collection.
6.8 x 5.6 x 0.5 cm. A gorgeous slab, polished on both sides, with very intricate patterns of the green, yellow and gray phosphates, variscite, crandallite and wardite from the famous Utah locality of the Little Green Monster Variscite Mine. The yellow crandallite surrounding the variscite has exceptional banding. This is the type locality for wardite.
10.8 x 6.8 x 0.6 cm. A gorgeous slab, polished on both sides, with very intricate patterns of the green, yellow and gray phosphates, variscite, crandallite and wardite. This particular slab is very rich in segmented pods of green variscite.
11.1 x 6.6 x 0.4 cm. A gorgeous cabinet slab, polished on both sides, with very intricate patterns of the green, yellow and gray phosphates, variscite, crandallite and wardite from the famous Utah locality of the Little Green Monster Variscite Mine. This particular slab has two striking segmented pods of green variscite. The yellow crandallite and gray wardite surrounding the variscite have exceptional banding. This is the Type Locality for wardite. This is large, old-time, beautiful material from this locale.
6.0 x 4.0 x 0.4 cm. A beautiful small cabinet slab, polished on both sides, with very intricate patterns of the green, yellow and gray phosphates, variscite, crandallite and wardite from the Utah locality of the Little Green Monster Variscite Mine. This particular slab has exceptional banding of crandallite and wardite surrounding the green variscite pod. This is the Type Locality for wardite. This is old-time, choice material from this famed locale.
10.3 x 7.0 x 0.5 cm. A gorgeous cabinet slab, polished on both sides, with very intricate patterns of the green, yellow and gray phosphates, variscite, crandallite and wardite from the famous Utah locality of the Little Green Monster Variscite Mine. This particular slab has two striking segmented pods of green variscite. The yellow crandallite and gray wardite surrounding the variscite have exceptional banding. This is the Type Locality for wardite. Old material, no longer found like this.
10.6 x 7.2 x 0.4 cm. A beautiful cabinet slab, polished on both sides, with very intricate patterns of the green, yellow and gray phosphates, variscite, crandallite and wardite from the famous Utah locality of the Little Green Monster Variscite Mine. This particular slab has three striking segmented pods of green variscite. The yellow crandallite and gray wardite surrounding the variscite have exceptional banding. This is the Type Locality for wardite. This is large, old-time, choice material from this famed locale. Old material, no longer found like this.

5.8 x 3.6 x 3.6 cm. Wardite and crandallite are rare to uncommon phosphates, respectively. Several vugs in the vuggy box-work matrix are lined with pastel-blue wardite in a crystalline, botryoidal form. The yellow material is crandallite. Very fine combination material from Clay Canyon, Utah, the Type Locality for Wardite. Collected by field collector, Terry Szenics.
3.0 x 2.5 x 2.2 cm. Wardite is a rare phosphate. This wardite crystal is from a small pocket found about 2003-4, by a French-Canadian collector at the time. This is a huge crystal for the species, really quite unprecedented by most standards, except for a few aberrant examples from Brazil in days long past. For Canada, it is about 5 times the size of most so-called large wardites I have seen, and about 10 times the size of a typical wardite crystal you might see on the market. For the species, this is an important piece.
