Mt Malosa, Zomba District, Malawi

The whitish "parisite" is ~ 5 mm tall.
From one of the $2 flats at the Franklin NJ show Sept 26 2009.
It seems "traditional" to call these things "parisite" but as Pavel Kartashov says "If you don't have a microprobe, you don't have parisite". Possibly some (many?) of these things are bastnaesite PS (or a mixture).
