FLUORORICHTERITE

George Earle Farm, ~3km SW of Wilberforce, Monmouth Township, Haliburton County, Ontario, Canada

This locality appears to produce the best fluororichterite specimens in the world, I've never seen anything comparable anywhere else. And surprisingly, they came out by the ton!

A very large doubly terminated black crystal with a 15 mm phlogopite book attached. 

140 x 35 x 12 mm
