This Creedite is neatly perched on a matrix of Rhyolitic host rock. Most Creedite specimens are not on matrix, and are commonly damaged. This one is in excellent condition. Creedites are found in a highly mineralized clay (that affects their color), within a Breccia Pipe, that had injected hot solution that later crystallized as Creedite. Mining these is fraught with danger, as cave-ins are quite common, and have finished recent production (according to Mike New).
