D1U-YCFGormanite (Fe2+,Mg)3(Al,Fe3+)4(PO4)4(OH)6·2H2O

Linópolis, Divino das Laranjeiras, Minas Gerais, Brazil

Dimensions: 2.7 cm x 2.2 cm x 1.0 cm

This is a beautiful and highly aesthetic thumbnail sized specimen of the very rare iron magnesium aluminum phosphate, gormanite from Linópolis, Brazil. Some of the most eye-catching examples of this mineral came out of a relatively small discovery circa 2007-2008, which produced some of the best gormanite specimens from any world locality. The piece is a wonderful, three-dimensional group of attractive pastel bluish-green colored gormanite flaring in multiple directions. This is about as showy and eye-catching as anything I've seen from the locality. From the collection of Shields Flynn.

KWY-YFRGormanite (Fe2+,Mg)3(Al,Fe3+)4(PO4)4(OH)6·2H2O , Souzalite Mg3Al4(PO4)4(OH)6·2H2O , Siderite FeCO3

Rapid Creek, Dawson mining district, Yukon, Canada

Dimensions: 5.3 cm x 4.0 cm x 2.6 cm

5.3 x 4.0 x 2.6 cm. The area around Rapid Creek is only accessible for a few months in the summer for collecting (it's under snow and ice the rest of the year), and is some of the most treacherous terrain in the world for collecting specimens. This specimen is a lovely piece featuring beautiful, large, greenish-blue needles or "sprays" or gormanite associated with tiny fibrous blue-green crystals of the rare phosphate souzalite with minor golden siderite on matrix. From the worldwide collection of famed Italian mineral collector, field collector and author, Francesco Bedogné of Sondrio, Italy (Collection #1520). Bedogné wrote dozens of articles and several books about the mineralogy of Italian Alpine localities such as Val Bregaglia, Val Masino, Val Codera, Val Spluga, Valtellina and the famous Val Malenco. He was also the founder of the Valtellinese Mineralogical Institute.
