Here is a precious fantastic blue Wavellite specimen. The Wavellite is color zoned. The tips or outer terminations of the crystals are blue which fades into a bluish green to green- to yellow green ar the core. Please see the label under the prov. tab which states that this is a specimen collected at Stuart Schmitt's & Henry Delinde mine. The label also states that the color when rotated changes. I do not see this pleochroism myself. Apparently it was also the "best" specimen for color change. Whatever the case, I believe it is a very nice specimen, one of which you will enjoy forever.

Large cabinet specimen filled with light grey to colorless hemispherical "crystal balls" of Wavellite. Each group is to about 2-3mm. A nice specimen for this mine which is probably unattainable. I believe it is all reclaimed. Specifically the specimen was found at the North Wilson mine, within the complex associated with alkalic intrusives about six miles from Magnet Cove. The mine is famous for its Sincosite, which at one time was maybe the second world occurence behind Sincos, Peru.

There are very few Wavellite specimens from Butte that I have seen. This specimen shows excellent micro crystal groups to 2mm. Some of the groups are split open which reveals their acicular prismatic habit of the single crystals. The color is a faint grayish blue. The Wavellite occurs on predominantly Pyrite matrix with crystals 7-8mm. There are numerous micro crystals of Digenite, Chalcosite and quite possibly Djurleite. One area shows a brony crystalline, formless mass of probablu Colusite. This is very similar to the Evanich specimen on Mindat.
The specimen is from the Berkeley Pit.
