An important and interesting specimen for several reasons. Hydroxylherderite crystals with very well-defined faces and edges, one of them clearly dominant, beige in color, of considerable size for the species, with small remnants of Albite (variety cleavelandite) at the base of the piece, originating from a rare locality for the species, the Santa Rosa Mine in Brazil.
The specimen comes from the Folch collection (duplicates), whose original label and record will be sent to the buyer of the piece.
