This specimen comes from a different pocket than the others shown in this update. The colour is much more on the brownish side here, it is not the deep and lustrous orange, but still a lovely brownish yellow hue. However, the arrangemant and contrast of the crystals on the white calcite covered matrix is truly dramatic. the coverage is very rich, and the majority of the crystals is in perfect condition. Plattnerite and vanadinite are associate species in some places.
