Veszelyite Locality: Black Pine Mine (Combination Mine; Black Pine Tailings; Black Pine Dump), Flint Creek Valley, John Long Mts, Philipsburg District (Flint Creek District), Granite County, Montana, USA (Locality at mindat.org) This specimen is a killer for the species, from a famous one-time set of small pockets found over 30 years ago at this now-defunct mine. Pieces of this quality dispersed immediately and now can be had only in teh recycling of noted collections, since they were snapped up generally by such folks to begin with. This one features a particularly large rosette of beautiful, rich blue crystals perched on a small quartz crystal point as a natural pedestal in such a way as to resemble the leaves of an artichoke, radiating in several directions! There is a very small bit of wear on the left side of the upright cluster of crysatls, but it does not detract from the display face and given teh size and context of the rarity here, it simply doesn't matter much. The deep blue color is classic, and the tips are gemmy enough to transmit light (highly unusual!). This is therefore a superb thumbnail, and also important for the species. 2.2 x 1.4 x 1.1 cm Mineral

Locality: Dassu (Dasso; Dusso), Braldu Valley, Skardu District, Baltistan, Gilgit-Baltistan (Northern Areas), Pakistan Dimensions: 8.3 cm x 8.2 cm x 4.2 cm 8.3 x 8.2 x 4.2 cm. A great rarity from this well known pegmatite occurrence in Pakistan featuring a very good sized mesh-like group of prismatic silvery viitaniemiite crystals sitting atop golden, semi-metallic, hexagonal bladed crystals of muscovite with minor green fluorite and white albite. This very rare sodium calcium manganese aluminum phosphate is only found in about a dozen localities in the world, and even though the largest known example of the species was found in Afghanistan (see following link: http://www.mindat.org/photo-132707.html), this is the only specimen of confirmed viitaniemiite from Pakistan that we've seen. This is not just a single crystal, or a few crystals together, but a lot of crystals on matrix. Ex. Herb Obodda specimen. Mineral
