Six little spheroidal crystals to about 0.5mm. These are hardly seen under the microscope. Once you adjust your eyes to the color, you willl see them. There are only seven known zirconium phosphate minerals, and most are only found at one locality. Malhmoodite is probably the more common one and it is found at only six or seven localities.
