3.7" Clay Canyon Crandallite and Wardite - Old Collection Stock

This is a section of rare and very collectable crandallite and wardite from the Little Green Monster Mine in Clay Canyon, Utah. The material was collected between 1937 and 1940 and almost none has been collected since. Most of it, and likely these specimens were sold out of the Smithsonian gift shop, then the National Museum.

The specimen is 3.7" wide, has been cut flat and left with a matte finish on one side. It includes the secondary minerals crandallite (yellow banding) and wardite (blue banding). This specimen contains a distinctive, orbicular blue wardite "eye", appearing within the nodule matrix. Comes with an acrylic display stand.
