Description

Parsonsite in form of a carpet of bright yellow needles richly scattered on greysh quartz.

This piece comes from an area in the north of France where some U-bearing species have been found in very limied quantities, far less known than those in central France.

I got this specimen directly from the collector, who made an analysis on it.

Very rare!
