Specimens of Narsarsukite from the Type Locality after which the species is named - Narsaarsuk Plateau, Narsaq, Kujalleq, Greenland - are rarely seen available for sale. This is in part due to how isolated Greenland is from the rest of the world and in part due to the rarity of this sodium titanium iron fluro-silicate even on the ground at this remote locality. This rare specimen features a centrally positioned 6.5 mm long cream coloured tabular Narsarsukite crystal along with what is likely to be another in a cavity along one edge of the sample. It is from the superb systematic collection assembled by the brothers Martin and Michael Günther (1951-2007 & 1956-2021).
