Exceptional very large well-formed tabular Columbite crystal (the biggest I have seen for this locality!) covered in yellow Parsonsite and some brownish “Cyrtolite” Zircon crystals from the Mica Lode Pegmatite, Royal Gorge, Fremont County, Colorado, USA. Very impressive specimen for this locality… wow!!
