Size: 19 x 17 x 17 mm (thumbnail)
Price: $ 1000 (=~ ¥ 99010) Click on any image to enlarge

From a new find in this important pegmatite district! Reddish-brown lustrous octahedral crystals of microlite to 15 mm in size are nicely set about this 19 x 17 x 17 mm matrix. The crystals show good translucency. There is some very tiny microscopic chipping present on some crystal edges, these only seen with a 10x loupe. These are very large crystals for the species. The main crystal is complete on the back side of the specimen. Superb for the species! I am told that these could possibly be stannomicrolite. More analysis needs to be performed, but suffice it to say that the crystals are rich in tin. Ref: The Mineralogical Record: 31: 6.

Very slight chipping is present to the upper back side of the top most little crystal, otherwise very clean and in great shape damage-wise. This is superb for this uncommon species! From a recent find. I am told that it is possible that these are stannomicrolite, but more work needs to be done. These are rich in tin. Ref: The Mineralogical Record: 31: 6.

To my naked eye this is perfect; with a 10x loupe I can find very slight tiny minimal microscopic chipping on some crystal edges. Overall a superb little crystal.
