Ludlockite

quartz

A woven mat of fibrous orange ludlockite crystals with colourless quartz on a sulphide matrix. Some of the vugs in the matrix have relatively well-developed crystals of unidentified sulphide minerals.

The specimen was acquired from Ray McDougal and was formerly in the Tracy Kimmel Collection. It's location in the mine is not recorded but the paragenesis points to a probable second oxidation zone origin.
