Item Description
An incredibly hard to find association specimen featuring brilliant yellow Zippeite aggregates which are sitting atop rich dark green Johannite with soft sky blue Chalcanthite on matrix. We have photographed the specimen with a Canon MP-E 65 mm macro lens to better illustrate the quality up close. This is honestly the first piece of Zippeite that we've had to offer from this old uranium mine in southeastern Utah. From the collection of Gary Weaver of Prescott, Arizona (1944-2019). Gary was an electrical engineer who worked for many years for Hughes Aircraft in California. You can read Gary's obituary here https://www.dcourier.com/news/2019/apr/27/obituary-gary-richard-weaver/
