- Size: 3.7 x 2.2 x 1.9 cm.
- A rare phosphate, from the type locality circa late 1800s. The natrophilite appears on the back of the specimen (see closeup view). Ex. G.J. Brush collection at Yale, so this was considered an important enough representative example that the Academy had to trade for it, to get the species. The presence of natrophilite as thin coatings and fracture fillings has been verified by Dr. Mark Feinglos. Further examination by Dr. Feinglos revealed the presence of lithiophilite and metaswitzerite, as well. Ex. Philadelphia Academy of Sciences Collection.
