Paravauxite with Sigloite Monazite I honestly have never seen

I honestly have never seen any specimens from this locality before

or a collector of “inclusion” specimens

This specimen is over 40 years old and was part of the best find of the material

brownish color spherical aggregates (comprised of dozens of triangular bladed crystals) of Childrenite sitting on contrasting

dodecahedral crystals of Demantoid sit atop a thin layer of fibrous off-white color Chrysotile on host rock matrix

Paravauxite with Sigloite Monazite I honestly have never seenThese crystals are one of the most beautiful phosphates in the world. They are highly prized for their rarity and beauty. This remarkably attractive specimen features beautiful lustrous, light green Paravauxite crystals and tan colored Sigloite crystals associated with micro crystallized iron stained Wavellite needles on matrix. Sigloite forms as an alteration of Paravauxite. This specimen is from the type locality for both species! Mark Chance Bandy
