Description

A rich but ragged-looking spray of bright orange acicular ludlockite crystals on a sooty, charcoal-grey sulphide matrix which appears to consist mainly of chalcocite (?). A few microcystals of yellow-brown siderite are associated.

The specimen was acquired from TCL mineralogist John Innes in early 1985.
