Hyalophane et Goyazite

Legenbach, Binnenthal, Switzerland. A 6x4x2.5cm gangue of white dolomite characteristic of this deposit. On this gangue we find a few crystals of hyalophane, a variety of orthoclase, 3mm and transparent (typical locality for this species), but also, several crystals of goyazite, a rare phosphate of alumina and strontium of which three are exceptional of small size (less than a millimetre), gem and of champagne colour. With also small black rutile crystals. Exceptional mineral for macro photography. Label coll.Chervet
