Got this and several other pieces from the Stuart Lithia mine in the early 50's, when my Jr. high school rock club was invited to come out to the mine. The owner gave each of us a baggie of small specimens, and allowed us to look around the property.

That is a nice specimen, that material is getting harder to find (like everything else) thanks for the pic

When I find my other specimens, I'll add them here. I have one little specimen that starts out pink, and is terminated in green. Just have to find the box I put them in.
