Wavellite

Wavellite was first described in 1805 and named for William Wavell.  I had not heard of it until I got this sample.  It is sometimes used as a gem.  It's formula is Al3(PO4)2(OH,F)3·5H2O.

I, at first, wondered if it was a sedimentary rock since its surface was wavy.  I liked the bluish color.  I could not see detail with my naked eye.  The FOV, field of view, in this focus stack is 40/64".

The FOV for this one is 9/64".
