A rather rich specimen with elongated, striated bleded crystals to 6mm. Very rich specimen with also two appearant octahedrally shapped crystals, which at first glance seems to be orthorhombic which points to the possibility of Krennerite. Although studying these you might conclude they are just odd-shaped or twinned crystals.

Smaller specimen but packed with excellent Calaverite crystals partially covered by an alteration. This mine is not reported to have tellurides at least on Mindat. It came out of the collection of Delbert Brown, a deceased geologist who was located in Custer, SD. Delbert spent a lot of time in Colorado collecing at some of the old mines. A typed label has "Mogul" of the Prince Albert mine. The research I have done did not uncover this exact locality, however there is a Prince Albert mine. Raman verified as Calaverite.
