In that time, I have had lots of aegerine and arfvedsonite, zircon, parisite, etc etc....but I had never seen one of these and in fact I'd never even heard of the species before now and had to go look it up: it is a titanium and niobium-containing fluorosilicate, nicely complex and interesting. It was only recently reported (Lapis, 2003) from this new locality for the species. I am told that these are the best, compared to previous occurences.

In that time, I have had lots of aegerine and arfvedsonite, zircon, parisite, etc etc....but I had never seen one of these and in fact I'd never even heard of the species before now and had to go look it up: it is a titanium and niobium-containing fluorosilicate, nicely complex and interesting. It was only recently reported (Lapis, 2003) from this new locality for the species. I am told that these are the best, compared to previous occurences. This piece features tightly packed, bladed crystals of a rusty orange color, accented by feldspar and aegerine, and a small zircon crystal. It is quite non-ugly in person, surprisingly enough. 4.7 x 2.9 x 1.8 cm\u003C\u002Fdd>\u003C\u002Fdl>\u003C\u002Fdd>\u003C\u002Fdl>",476,{"id":189,"source_url":190,"license_code":159,"credit_html":191,"title":192,"description":193,"author":163,"original_width":194,"original_height":180},17734,"https:\u002F\u002Fcommons.wikimedia.org\u002F?curid=10465441","Robert M.
