Description

Small vugs in a sulphide-dominant matrix host druses of minute, ice-blue niedermayrite crystals (SEM/EDS and Raman verified). The druse shown in Exhibit 2 measures approximately 0.2 mm across and comprises niedermayrite crystals to 50 µm.

The specimen is in the collection of Sharon and Eugene Cisneros and was acquired from Joy Désor who verified the niedermayrite (Mineralanalytik #MA1961).

The associated minerals on this specimen are undetermined, but a summary of the typical niedermayrite paragenesis is available at https://tmn.fas.harvard.edu/objects/TSNB255/
