Please note the size! This is a very small specimen. But it has a very unusual well-formed colorless/white petarasite xl. Usually petarasite is pink to purple-red or yellow-orange. Of course, the small size of the xl (1.3 mm wide in the first photo) probably has a lot to do with the lack of color in this case. The xl is from the well known find of yellow petarasite made by Ron Waddell in 1980. While the size (but not the habit) of this xl is comparable to that of the pink xls found in 1996/7, most xls from the 1980 find were much larger. Small but interesting. Petarasite is a very rare mineral and the lack of color is unique in my experience.

The matrix is a bit of the fizzy, grainy, carbonate (probably calcite or dawsonite) with purple fluorite blebs that is typical of the 1980 find (which of course had many other associated minerals on larger samples).
