Silver Coin is known for its fabulous micro crystals of phosphates, arsenates, and carbonates. It has 144 valid minerals and eight minerals first found there. These specimens are certainly not all inclusive of what may also be on the specimen. It takes hours of microscope time time to identify all the minerals. And just sight alone is not good enough.

This specimen contains blue Morinite with light green Kidwellite, and dark greenish yellow Lipscombite. All are identified at the colored arrows, which is noted on the backside of the labels.
