Abundant, glassy fluor-buergerite
crystals to almost 7 mm on matrix. Fluor-buergerite - NaFe3+Al6(Si6O18)(BO3)3O3F
is a globally rare tourmaline species with just two
confirmed localities. There have been no new specimens on
the mineral market for numerous years (and likely no more
will ever appear) as the sole person who knew the precise
locality passed away before revealing the information to
anyone else. Numerous attempts to rediscover the locality
have since failed. The crystals are well exposed and the
sample is in fine condition.
