Description

Remarkable specimen of eosphorite and zanazziite crystals on orthoclase from Lavra Da Ilha, Brazil.
Zanazziite is a phosphate that appears here as green spherules. Eosphorite is also a phosphate, forming large prismatic brown crystals in radiating clusters.
Remarkable for the locality!
Fine lamellar crystals of what appears to be calcite and prismatic hyaline quartz crystals are observed in association.
