A stunning specimen of bindheimite pseudomorphing jamesonite from the Wamsley Mine.    This specimen is nearly solid bindheimite, with a silky luster and angular formation.   I had never seen these rare specimens before, and was shocked that the species could form a miniature specimen so attractive to the eye.
