Variscite and Albite

Variscite is a relatively rare mineral and this specimen is from the 2006 Boa Vista pegmatite find. An unusual specimen with vuggy white Albite abundantly covered with bright red to pink Variscite crystals. The crystals are spheroidal or are in spheroidal clusters to 1mm, with sparkling lustre. A nice contrast is added by matt black mineral (possibly Manganese rich?) which lines several vugs. An aesthetic combination specimen!
