This is a very rich specimen of this rare phosphate, only seldom seen even at these rich phosphate localities in the remote Yukon. The specimen features lustrous, metallic crystals of a slightly blue-gray color , arranged in plates one atop the other. It is a very rich, extremely showy example of this species. The phosphate deposits of the Yukon are one of the world's great sources of a suite of rare phosphate species, and the Ordway collection was known for them over the years. Self-collected by Al Ordway in the 1970s. It was long in his display collection and comes with a custom label to that effect. 7.1 x 6.6 x 2.3 cm
