Size: thumbnail, 2.8 x 1.6 x 1.5 cm
Xenotime with Rutile
From a small find in January, this is a shockingly large and well-developed xenotime crystal with unusually good lustre , rich chocolate color, and unusually equant crystalllographic form. Furthermore, clusters are rare, of this species, particularly from Brazil. This crystal is complete all around, 360 degrees. As a final accent, we have inclusions of golden rutile in the xenotime, included 0.1 to 1 mm below the surface (though the photo makes it look like they are on the surface, that is an illusion - actually they are under a thin translucent layer of xenotime). A pocket the size of a basketball was hit, and I cherrypicked the choice specimens from this very surprising find!
