A tiny less than 1mm groups and clusters of sky blue Raisaite. There are two groups and the crystals not visually defineable. Very rare new mineral. This is was recently described by Dr. Igor Pekov and this specimen was one of his study pieces. Verified of course. No photo since I am here in Tucson and have not my equipment.

There are three tufts around 1-2mm of dark green, acicular crystals on matrix which are the Redledgeite. However, all over the matrix you will see tiny fibers, which is also the Redledgeite. The mineral is very rare, seldom seen, and found in olny three places on Earth. Handle it with care as some are along the edges.

The morphology of Reichenbachite describes the crystals as "lancet-shaped" crystals. Looking at these crystals, many of the crystals indeed look like they have a broad curved termination like a knife or surgical lancet. So some of these crystals may not be Reichenbachite pseudomorphing Kipushite, but simply straight out Reichenbachite. The pseudomorphs of Kipushite are simple, compact rosettes or crude-looking balls with continuations of "primary" Reichenbachite. The darker green are crystals of glossy pseudomalachite. It's a very good specimen, which can be admired under the scope for quite a while.

Soft pink rhombic and saddle-shaped Rhodochrosite crystals to 2mm on light green Fluorite. This combination of minerals is what made the mine famous for mineral collectors.
