EYA11AO0: A novelty of 2021 and, in all probability, the best known so far for the species. Imayoshiite occurs in numerous very sharp crystals, with tabular shape and hexagonal outline, transparent, with great luster, and with white globular growths of Shinichengite (this new mineral species was initially labeled as possible Tobermorite-Clinotobermorite) and some Calcite crystals.
The specimen, which appears reviewed and photographed in issue 162 (November-December 2021) of the magazine ‘Le Rčgne Minéral‘ (page 15), has been analyzed and we will send a copy of the analysis to the buyer.
