Beryllonite : NaBe[PO4] | |
|
Paprok, Nuristan Province (Nurestan; Nooristan), Afghanistan 10.9 x 9.0 cm. A very choice and aesthetic specimen of white xls in parallel growth. The xls seem to be of two generations with a slightly more translucent and lustrous, doubly terminated, "core" and more opaque satellite xls growing on both sides of the main xl. |
