Cabinet specimen loaded with a mineral cafeteria of rare phosphates. Vivianite is uncommon at the Tip Top mine, but occurs on this specimen as blue, bladed 2cm crystals. There is also light green Leucophosphite on pink Hurealite (1-3mm). Jahnsite can be seen in the photos as nut brown micro crystals to 1mm. Excellent specimen, poorly represented by the photos.
