$34
A partial crystal of betafite from Norway, showing good faces. Looking at message boards, I always get the impression that there is a fair amount of field collecting that goes on at these Scandinavian localities, but I don't often see examples for sale. This certainly isn't beautiful, but I find it interesting, particularly as a betafite that is NOT from either Canada or Madagascar/
