First discovered here in the 1920's and named by Sam Gordon, of the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia, this rare phosphate has gemmy light green acicular crystals with superior luster. Although small overall, the specimen features exquisite crystals of unusually good form, translucence, and sharpness and is thus of higher quality than one might otherwise think.
