Description:
The beautiful green colour of this mineral means that it often gets cut as a collection gem despite its very low hardness. It is an hydrated iron phosphate and although it appears in various places such as Cameroon, USA or Brazil, no deposit can compete with the beauty and size of the crystals from Bolivia.
