TC11P7
On the same specimen there are two very rare species. Kosnarite in pseudo-octahedral, creamy crystals with very sharp and bright faces and edges. The Zanazziite, in very small crystals, has been carefully analyzed and the result is surprising: iron is nearly completely replaced by manganese (thus its pinkish shade), so we present it as manganoan Zanazziite. Matrix is Albite. We’ll send a copy of the analysis to the buyer.
