Childrenite
Ênio claim, Laranjeiras, Galiléia, Minas Gerais, Brazil
5.4 x 4.8 x 4.8 cm. Mineral specimens are rare from this obscure pegmatite. Classic, lustrous, translucent, light brown childrenite blades fill a 3.6 cm vug in the star muscovite and albite matrix. A very rare, rich and showy combination from this locale from the Josef Vajdak Collection.
