The lustrous, translucent sharply terminated caramel-colored crystals reach 1.0 cm on this cutie. The specimen is possibly from the Erupcion Mine at Los Lamentos. Ex Kay Robertson Collection # 4966 and acquired from fellow prominent California collector, Marion Godshaw, at the Tucson Show in the late 1960s.
