Origin: Långban, Filipstad, Varmland, Sweden

Sample size: 3 x 2.2 cm specimen of calcite with included grains of yellowish-orange berzeliite (top), 4.5 x 2 cm specimen with a 3 mm grain (2nd row), 4 x 2.3 cm specimen  grains of berzeliite to 4 mm across (3rd row), 1.4 x 0.6 cm specimen with a rich zone of berzeliite (bottom)

 

  

This specimen has a very rich zone of bright canary yellow berzeliite. The matrix for the specimen consists of calcite with hausmannite. Swedenborgite was found while lamping (SW-UV) this specimen as 2-3 mm crystals frozen in the matrix. One crystal was seen to have a hexagonal outline helping to confirm it as swedenborgite.

  

This specimen has a couple of rich zones of bright canary yellow berzeliite. The matrix for the specimen consists of calcite with hausmannite. Ex. Harry von Eckermann Collection
