This specimen is from old stock of a friend in Arizona. I believe it was Dr. Igor Pekov who found Terlinguacreekite on this matrix. It is the dull orange crusts on the grainy matrix with yellow, translucent, more lustrous Kleinite. This is a very rich specimen with two good areas covering about 7 x 7mm each.
