The last picture is taken from its underside.

Bumannsfjorden, Seiland, Finnmark, Norway
Most of the year the field where the minerals are found is covered with ice and snow, and today this area is now a part of the Seiland National Park, and collecting from this area is now strictly forbidden. So not only is this a rare material but also it will not be collected more of it.
This specimen was found in the late 1980's by my father, Gunnar Mathisen.
