This larger miniature specimen features the extremely rare and complex rare earth-bearing calcium sodium titanium silicate oxyfluoride Rinkite-(Ce) and is from the area where it was first discovered - its Type Locality - at Kangerluarsuk Fjord in Greenland. The specimen bears the classic assemblage of beige Rinkite-(Ce) associated with black Aegirine and pink-red Eudialyte. The areas of Rinkite-(Ce) reach 5 mm across. It is from the superb systematic collection assembled by brothers Martin and Michael Günther (1951-2007 & 1956-2021).
