Bright purple spherulitic Phosphosiderite, an alteration of the enclosing phosphate nodule. The Phosphosiderite encompasses an area of 3 x 1cm. I have never been to the Stewart mine, however I can only imagine this material is no longer collectable. I would be interested in any input my viewers could provide.
