Description

You are bidding on a small sample with two spots hosting many tiny, colorless tabular crystals of the extremely rare and exotic new species dinilawiite in association with larger pale blue clusters of the new species cherokeeite. This is most likely the ONLY dinilawiite specimen I will ever offer publicly as there are only about 9 known samples of the mineral. Collected by myself in 2019. Analyzed. The FOV in each of the close up photos is 1.1mm.
