MY77AM0: Floater pair of two Zunyite crystals, a rare aluminum sorosilicate-fluoride. These tetrahedral crystals, with edges beveled by cube faces, have well defined and smooth faces, a color between reddish and dark brown and lamellar Hematite inclusions, which makes it different from the first Zunyites from Iran that reached the collecting world at Munich 2018.
