We hope to find more of this exceptionally rare mineral, as it has proven to be a desirable species for the fluorescent collector. We will be making another foray to this area in hopes of having more material before the fall Franklin show, but for now we only have this limited amount - stay tuned.... The red color is somewhat deeper than tugtupite, and equally as beautiful. This piece is an exceptionally rich specimen with coverage on all faces.
