Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of this rare species from England!!! This specimen consists of a group of pinkish translucent lathes of
mendipite in association with a small amount of chloroxiphite and micro-inclusions of parkinsonite (responsible for the pink color)!!!
There is also an unidentified crystal embedded in the mendipite - the crystal is colorless (with some inclusions) and
translucent with perfect cleavage in three directions (relatively soft and overall cubic form)!!! Rare material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the collection of
Tony Nikischer!!! We just acquired the 6000+ specimen PERSONAL collection of Tony Nikischer and there are going to be
