MA94X1: A novelty at Munich 2012. Phenakite is a new species for Huanggang, or at least it was not previously referenced, and we must add it to the already long list of species from this mine. The elongated Phenakite crystals that coat the entire sample are very small but show very well defined faces and edges. They are transparent and intensely bright. They are with sharp octahedral crystals of Fluorite with smaller faces of the cube. These crystals are translucent, with a very deep marine blue color and very well marked phantom growths. There are also some isolated crystals of Orthoclase (adularia variety). We’ll send a copy of the analysis of the Phenakite and the Orthoclase.
This specimen was photographed and published as a novelty at the 2012 Munich Show of the magazine ‘Mineralien Welt’ and appears on page 24 of number 1/2013
