Description

Smutty white acicular crystals and crusty cervantite (not pictured well - there is a much better part with lots of fine, free-standing little cervantite crystals in a vug, which I missed somehow). Mostly cervantite pseudomorph after stibnite on stibnite crystals. From a very seldom offered locality. Not a bad one either.
