    . THE SPECIMEN WAS COLLECTED IN 1960.  DUMORTIERITE IS RARELY FOUND CRYSTALLIZED.  THESE CRYSTALS ARE IN NEEDLE LIKE PARALLEL AND DIVERGENT SPRAYS.  IT IS A VERY ATTRACTIVE EXAMPLE.  DUMORTIERITE WAS USED TO MAKE THE PORCELAIN INSULATORS ON SPARK PLUGS.  THE SPECIMEN LOOKS BETTER INM YOUR HAND THAN IT DOES IN THE PICTURES.  SEE PICTURES.  I WILL COMBINE SHIPPING WHEN POSSIBLE.  THANKS FOR LOOKING.
