RM2580   Scholzita and Chalcophanite

Reaphook Hill, Martins Well, South Flinders Ranges, Flinders Ranges, South Australia, Australia

Scholzite is a rare calcium zinc phosphate, with a type locality in Germany, although the richest and most aesthetic specimens have been found in this Australian mine. This sample shows us, on both sides, numerous aggregates of prismatic crystals, almost acicular, transparent and brilliant. They are accompanied by globular aggregates of chalcophanite (analyzed by SEM-EDS).


Size: 6.6 x 6 x 5 cm.
Main crystal: 1 cm.
Found in ±1985.
