Sorry about the blurry photos. This specimen comes from an old nickel-bearing copper mine discovered in 1732. The outer crust is said to be Zaratite, I suspect it is Retgersite. Hampson collected the specimen in 1944.

Here is another antique specimen with an old Ward's label. The name "malacon" is a varietal name from this locality. It is cited in Dana 6th edition 1892 page 486 as a altered zircon with some water. This is very nice crystal with what looks like 2nd order prism or pyramid faces. It is an incomplete crystal, but with an interesting yellowish green or clove brown color. See prov. tab for label.
