AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Exceptional specimen of Parisita-(Ce) (fluorocarbonate of Rare Earth Elements). This idiomorphic single crystal stands out prominently due to its macro-crystallinity, reaching approximately 10 mm in length along its main axis. Given the predominantly microcrystalline nature of the species, this measurement confers substantial rarity value. Its origin is the type locality of Colombia, an invaluable historical context. Crystallographically, the specimen has prismatic faces and sharp terminations (typical of the trigonal/hexagonal system), demonstrating outstanding morphological integrity. It is a must-have addition to the systematic collection of rare minerals.
