Description

Rare material - most times only labeled with Pine Canyon, the exact locality is Judith Lymm Claim (named by the wife of the owner of the claim). There are sharp, dark violet octahedrons and also light, pale green cubes - this combination of two different habits in different color makes this material nearly unique. The contrast to snowy white matrix is very attractive. No significant damages to report.
