Creedite with Fluorite

This beautiful Creedite is three spherical clusters linked together. It is asthetic and bright and has a small blue, gemmy fluorite thrown infor good measure. It's in great condition, as it is crystallized all around (floater).

Although the mineral Creedite is common, excellent examples are not. It's in fine condition, esp. since virtually all creedites are damaged (many occur on the ceiling of the mine and have to be pried loose with a pole and then hopefully caught as they fall (like spiked coconuts falling - yikes!). 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).
