Dufrénite, Quartz, Albite (Ref: 11TRM14)

Galiléia, Vale do Rio Doce, Minas Gerais  Brazil
68mm x 59mm x 38mm
minID: 0U4-5DC
Quartz crystal (smoky variety), doubly terminated and partially covered by a large group of snowy white Albite crystals. On top of the Albite sits a younger mass of very small dark Dufrenite crystals, which is normally a secondary mineral in iron deposits. Metasomatic fluid circulation and weathering processes gave rise to the formation of secondary phosphates, such as Dufrenite, in this lithium-rich pegmatite.
