Very nice, sharp, cluster of well-formed crystals of “Betafite” (Uranopyrochlore) from the famous Silver Crater mine near Bancroft, Ontario Canada. Great example of this uncommon REE mineral from a classic locality for the species! Ex. Dr. George Kamin Collection. Rare! 1x repair (difficult to see and a fairly minor one at that). Rare!
