Description

A small, matrix-free cluster of sugary white rhombohedral minrecordite microcrystals (SEM/EDS verified; exhibits 2 and 3).

The specimen was formerly in the collection of Robert Nowakowski. There is no record of earlier provenance or location in the mine, but the specimen is almost certainly from the second oxidation zone (?).
