This is a superb specimen of a rare phosphate from a world-famous locality. Zanazziite is a Hydrated Calcium Magnesium Iron Aluminum Beryllium Phosphate. This piece hosts several large, sharp, lustrous, well-formed, translucent, olive-green crystal groups of the rare phosphate Zanazziite which are aesthetically sitting on a matrix of crystallized Rose Quartz with minor pale Smoky Quartz on the underside.
