Mex029 - Creedite - West Camp, Santa Eulalia, Mun. de Aquiles Serdán, Chihuahua, Mexico

From the classic Mexican find, thie specimen was in the inventory of Consie Prince, a long-time mineral dealer in Houston. It is a very nice small cabinet specimen of lavender creedite to 1.8 cm. Most of the crystals are sharply terminated and range from a medium lavender to almost colorless at the tips. There are a few cleaved crystal at the periphery (particularly at the bottom and left side) but the crystals in the main display area are fine. What appears to be damage in the center is actually a patch of natural roughness and iridescent sulphide crystals. 7.3 x 5.2 x 3.7 cm.
