An exceedingly rare group of sharp tan to brown xls to 1.5 x 0.8 cm. This specimen was found in 2002 and almost none have been found since. The ID of this specimen was verified by XRD and pictured in an article on Zagi Mountain by Dr. Peter Leavens and myself published in the "Rare Earths" issue of The Mineralogical Record, May-June 2004 (Volume 35, number 3) as figure 8 on page 212.
