7hlmiscer ((RUIZITE, APOPHYLLITE)), $20 MINIMUM BID, Cornwall Mines, Cornwall, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, 3 x 2.5 x 2 cm, Miniature, | |
Here is a specimen Apophyllite with the rare mineral Ruizite. Ruizite is brown and very micro. Even with a loop it is hard to see any sizable crystals. Microscope viewing is required. This is from the find two years ago. Specimens on mindat that say found by Fred Stohl I believe is the same find. Stohl made the discovery and several other local collectors also collected some and I believe it was all found in one large boulder on the dumps of Cornwall. |
