RM3773   Variscite and Quartz
AlPO₄ · 2H₂O
  -  8. Phosphates, arsenates and vanadates

A very good-sized variscite specimen of uniform green color, nicely contrasting with the light gray quartz matrix. The Lucin area is a popular stop for rockhounds looking for an apple-green, chert-like phosphate mineral variscite, also known as 'utahlite' and 'lucinite'. Variscite is definitely one of my weak spots.

Size: 10.2 x 7.3 x 7 cm.
