Parasymplesite, Quartz
Wet Swine Gill, Coombe Height, Caldbeck, Allerdale, Cumbria, England, UK
A thumbnail specimen comprising a 2mm, tightly packed aggregate of greenish black, bladed, microscopic crystals of parasymplesite sat on the termination of a small, but well-formed quartz crystal. Quite a nice, if small, example of this species from one of only two known localities for it in the UK
