7 x 5 x 3 cm (Small Cabinet)


A very sharp gemmy and lustrous 2.1cm of rare earth element (REE) bearing Bastnaesite. Specimens are quite rightly revered from this locale and this example is one of the the very best examples displaying sharp crystallisation and a transparent mustard-yellow coloured core. The matrix is genuine and the positioning of the crystal is superb.
