Veszelyite
Dongchuan, Kunming, Yunnan, China
3 x 2 x 1.3 cm — thumbnail
Specimen ID: mm/TL124
Large, isolated single Veszelyite crystal on matrix. The crystal is 1.2cm long, which is larger than most and uncommon for being a single crystal (many were aggregates and clusters). Beautiful, richly colored crystal of this rare species from a July 2020 find at an old Zinc mine, one I kept in my collection for years. Veszelyite is a rare phosphate mineral only found in a few places worldwide as collectable mineral specimens. Ex. Mike Keim. .
