A colourful specimen features numerous of needle-like intensive orange coloured crystals of lead-chromate crocoite from the well known loality in Tazmania. The crystals are very well developed, sharp edged and high lustrous. I have checked the specimen with the microscope and detected, that most of the crystals are excellent terminated.
