Iimoriite-(Y) : Y2[CO3|SiO4]

Trimouns Talc Mine, Luzenac, Ariège, Midi-Pyrénées, France

One of my favorites! This one features a 4mm crystal cluster extending out over the matrix. Several other, lesser crystals are embedded in the top face of the specimen (not shown). Easily eye-visible and more impressive in person. 3.5 x 2.5 x 2 cm
