TH28AM5: Globular growths of Stokesite with well-formed lenticular crystals on an Albite matrix, with Microlite and Cookeite. Stokesite is a rare calcium tin silicate.
Urucum Mine, Galiléia, Vale do Rio Doce, Minas Gerais  Brazil

TG46AM5: Polycrystalline radial aggregates of Zanazziite, a rare phosphate of calcium, magnesium, and beryllium, translucent and pink and on an Albite matrix with Elbaite crystals. The analysis, of which we will send a copy to the buyer, shows an almost complete substitution of manganese for the normal subordinate iron, which is why we call it manganese-rich Zanazziite.
