This extremely fine specimen of Ludlamite crystals is from a remote phosphate deposit deep within the Amazon rainforest at Cabeça do Cachorro Claim, Brazil. Distinctive in form, th e gemmy to slightly resinous translucent lustrous green crystals of Ludlamite display an unusual wedge-shaped triangular form, with stepped edges, quite different to any crystal form I have seen before. The crystals are really well-defined and measure up to an impressive 1.5 cm in length. Their colour is the classic apple-green of Ludlamite, but with a really attractive bright 'wet' lustre. The crystals are richly scattered and aggregated over a dark brown crystallized Siderite matrix making for a lovely display specimen which, as a flat plate sits perfectly for display with angled support. A couple of the crystals around the periphery of the plate show minor contact damage, but those on the main display surface are in superb condition. A really fine display quality Ludlamite. Show more
