Labeled as Gormanite/Souzalite, it is possible that both species are present within the same crystals due to their isomorphic relationship. This specimen features radiating needle-like tufts of the rare bluish-green mineral, partially coated in gemmy-brown siderite crystals on a mostly siderite matrix. This is a striking example of the rare phosphates from the famous phosphate occurrence at Rapid Creek in the Yukon. This piece was purchased by Dr. Tarassoff in 1979.
