Ludlamite Locality: Huanuni mine, Huanuni, Dalence Province, Oruro Department, Bolivia (Locality at mindat.org) Size: 6.4 x 4.6 x 2.8 cm. A good representative specimen of this rare iron phosphate consisting of a wonderful, sharp, lustrous, gemmy, deep green, layered crystal group forming a "spray" of Ludlamite on Pyrite matrix. The Ludlamite crystal group measures 1.4 cm across. There are only about 5 localities in the world that produce fine crystallized Ludlamite specimens, and all of them, except for Huanuni and now defunct. Please note: There have been no more of these specimens found in the last 6 years from this locality, and it is a possibility there will never be any more. Mineral

Ludlockite Locality: Tsumeb, Otjikoto (Oshikoto) Region, Namibia (Locality at mindat.org) Size: miniature, 3.9 x 2.3 x 1.5 cm Ludlockite Ludlockite, found here at its type locality, is a strange iron-lead arsenite that was found around 1970 in the very lower depths of the Tsumeb Mine, in its deepest oxidation zone filled with all kinds of bizarre mineralogy. The color of ludlockite is interesting, but when combined with the metallic lustre to its fibrous crystals, the overall effect of a ludlockite specimen is unique and visually stunning. It looks like hair dipped in bronze and gelatin. This is a very rich, sturdy cluster of intergrown acicular crystals, perched on a minimal amount of ore matrix. A rare, display-sized, beautiful miniature specimen for this species normally available to collectors today only as micros or small pockets rather than with such large freestanding clusters such as this. Ex. Robert Whitmore Collection. Mineral

Lueshite Locality: Lueshe Mine, Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaïre) (Locality at mindat.org) Size: thumbnail, .6 x .6 x .6 cm Lueshite Exceptional cube of the rare niobium-containing species Lueshite, with good metallic luster and typical back-silver color. What makes this so grand is the size and, most especially, the sharpness of the crystal. I am told that these came out only sporadically, and mostly 20-plus years ago. This is the largest I have had for sale out of several over the years. It is a significant example for the species. .6 x .6 x .6 cm Mineral
