Description
Rare Cerium-bearing silicate from the type locality. Muddy pink grains with a faint resinous luster very richly embedded in typical skarn matrix. Rare material from Riddarhyttan, a locality in the Skinnskatteberg Municipality, Västmanland County, Sweden. The region has a long-standing old iron mining tradition, that dates back to the last centuries BC. The last mine in the region was closed down in 1979.
