Excellent ~3 x 3 cm. well-formed reddish-brown monazite-(Ce) crystal with black niobium-rich rutile crystals in pegmatite matrix from the Locality: McGuire Pegmatite, Wellington Lake, Park County, Colorado, USA. I personally collected this specimen around 2013 and it’s a very good piece for this now largely worked-out locality! Rare!
