A very rare locality specimen of schrockingerite from the Jack Daniels #1 Mine showing sharp microcrystals rich on matrix.   The locality has long been flooded, and the few specimens I purchased in this lot are the only examples I've seen from the locality after 15 years of searching for uranium minerals from the Cameron district.
