Strengite and Rockbridgeite

Strengite and Rockbridgeite from Leveaniemi Mine, Svappavaara, Sweden

Collection

Robert Lavinsky

Description

A gorgeous miniature with high quality and good relief both - a rare combination. The Strengite (purple) is of extremely high quality and size for the material (to 6 mm). The Rockbridgeite though, is probably even better all things considered as this species is usually just the associated mineral and not so dominant in its own crystallization that it stands out so nicely as here. Ex. Martin Zinn.
