Description from the seller

Here is a remarkable set of betafite crystals (13 of them!) featuring the variety of crystals shapes that the locality produced!
The biggest one is 2.4 x 2.1 x 1.2 cm.

Betafite is a rare compound oxy-hydroxide of titanium (+niobium-tantalum) and calcium-sodium-uranium member of the pyrochlore supergroup.
It occurs as good crystals in a few exotic chemistry pegmatitic bodies worldwide.

Very slightly radioactive, requires an accordingly proper handling.
