Quartz crystal (smoky variety), doubly terminated and partially covered by a large group of snowy white Albite crystals. On top of the Albite sits a younger mass of very small dark Dufrenite crystals, which is normally a secondary mineral in iron deposits. Metasomatic fluid circulation and weathering processes gave rise to the formation of secondary phosphates, such as Dufrenite, in this lithium-rich pegmatite.
Galiléia, Vale do Rio Doce, Minas Gerais Brazil
Specimen size: 6.8 × 5.9 × 3.8 cm = 2.68” × 2.32” × 1.50”

MG11X2: Duftite with Calcite

Botryoidal growths of micro-crystals of Duftite, some of them very well defined under a binocular microscope. They are clear green to slightly darker green and their luster varies from bright to dull, with transparent and colorless crystals of Calcite, and they coat a limonite matrix. Due to the absence of previous data about notable samples of Duftite at the Ojuela mine, we consider this find as an interesting "novelty" for this mine. The samples have been analyzed, and we'll send a copy of the analysis to the buyer.
