Question about whether this is a fantacy rock.  I do not like using qualifying terms unless they are purely descriptive and not just my opinion.  For example I do not care to call this specimen LARGE, instead I put in the size (51/2"x4"x2") so you can decide if it is large.  A fantacy rock refers to a certain combination of minerals from the Taseq Slope.  This specimen was collected at Kvanefjeld, not Tasek.  If you need to be able to say this is a Fantacy Rock, rather than let the combination of fl colors of the specimen speak for themselves then this is not the specimen for you.
