I have dealt a lot of Crestmore material and acquired quite a bit over the years, but I have never seen a Jennite of this magnitude from the type locality, Crestmore. All of the white crystals on this specimen are Jennite. On the back of the old label Kidwell states whee his specimen originated: "1963 C.M. Jenni".....a bonus of course.

I have never seen so many Joaquinites on one specimen. And these are excellent crystals to 1mm. Oh, there is a 1.3cm Neptunite on top but the black background hides it. There is also just a little bit of a partial Benitoite near the outer edge.

Pearly lilac colored and extremely rare Joelbruggerite in vuggy Quartz matrix with green Adamite. The crystals are about 0.2mm in size. They were hard to photograph! This is a verified specimen and this is type locality.
