Wavellite with Quartz type locality and obtaining specimens is next

and obtaining specimens is next to impossible because miners rarely bring out anything for sale

Here is a great old locality specimen of Vivianite from the Siglo XX mine in Bolivia

A worthwhile Wavellite

Wavellite with Quartz type locality and obtaining specimens is nextAlthough Wavellite is a fairly well known phosphate species, it is truly only found in a handful of localities in well crystallized display specimens. The majority of the Wavellites from world localities feature either micro crystals, or incomplete (broken) spheres on matrix. The Bolivian Wavellites, particularly those from the famous Siglo XX mine, are among the best in the world due to the fact that they occur with eye visible spheres that are often
