This specimen is a holdover from the Gerald Jungles collection, who field collected many Arizona localities. Featured on this specimen is a 6mm pocket lined with sky blue fuzzy sprays of Shattuckite. Anther pocket is lined with deep olive green bladed Fornacite crystals less than 0.5mm. The color of Fornacite is almost diagnostic of the species. The specimen is very good for the locality. It was collected by Jungles in 1986.
