Specimen formed by several interpenetrating davidite-(La) crystals. We can observe various curved, shiny facets of this rare species, from the crichtonite group, and of a complex formula with an unique combination of elements: La(Y,U)Fe2(Ti,Fe,Cr,V)18(O,OH,F)38.
It belongs from the type locality for the species: Radium Hill. To confirm the species we have carried out SEM-EDS analysis with results consistent with expectated. It is not easy to find specimens of the type locality and less with facets.
