Ex. George Kamin Collection

Excellent, very large and rich (solid) specimen of Samarskite-(Y) with radial, plumose crystallization from the Oregon #3 Pegmatite, Foxton, South Platte District, Jefferson County, Colorado, USA. I personally collected this specimen around 2013 and sold it to George Kamin, and it was one of the better specimens from this find/locality, so it was a treat to get it back. Very good for this mineral at the locality. From the noted collection of physicist and engineer Dr. George Kamin of Arcadia, California. Rare!!
