Description/Interesting Notes:
A very rare example of bariopyrochlore from the type locality in Tanzania!!! This group of five specimens came from an old collection and represent
fantastic examples of the species from the type locality!!! The crystals exhibit the characteristic features of the species, with their light color and curiously
porous features!!! The type material was described as "crude to anhedral grains to 1mm" - these crystals are particularly fine for the locality!!! The crystals are more
lustrous than they appear in the pics!!! The one with the largest cavities has curious prismatic forms inside when viewed with magnification as well!!! The pics hardly do
them justice!!! Rare old material!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
