Here is a a specimen from the Tintic District with needles of Aragonite crowning rounded small stalactite like Calcite with a pastel greenish tinge. The original pocket dirt was left on the specimen. These can be put in an ultrasonic cleaner and usually completely clean up. This is just a different look and gives it some depth. ex Dennis McMurdie. collected by the mineral self collector Utah Hall of Fame member, Solon Hammack in the mid 90's. |
