Rosell Minerales

Specimen formed by several interpenetrating davidite-(La) crystals. We can observe various curved, shiny facets of this rare species, from the crichtonite group, and of a complex formula with an unique combination of elements:  La(Y,U)Fe₂(Ti,Fe,Cr,V)₁₈(O,OH,F)₃₈.
It belongs from the type locality for the species: Radium Hill. To confirm the species we have carried out SEM-EDS analysis with results consistent with expectated. It is not easy to find specimens of the type locality and less with facets.

Size: 1.8 x 1.5 x 1 cm.
