20 pieces of Fairfield variscite. #31 weighs 158g. Beautiful deep mint green stones. Some of the variscite is coated with yellow and black phosphates; the yellow material may be pseudowavellite.

A lot of this material was sold as specimens as it was too beautiful with all the other minerals in it to cut it up. State: Utah City: Fairfield Date:
