Wagnerite from
Santa Fe Mountain Beryl Prospect, Clear Creek pegmatite Province, Clear Creek Co., Colorado, USA

Description
Comments:It is pertinent to mention that although wagnerite is a rare mineral, neither the wagnerite nor the corundum, which also occurs at this locality, can be regarded as having special museum or specimen value. These minerals are minor constituents of a metamorphic rock and, as such, are important to the geologist as unusual mineral phases in an uncommon metamorphic assemblage rather than to a mineral collector.
