Brown crystals of Jarosite on a Quartz crystal, with a few unusual sceptered light blue crystals of an unknown mineral. Other mineral associated but not in the photograph is Carbonatecyanotrichite. I obtained this specimen from Tom Loomis of Dakota Matrix Minerals, it was previously from the New Mexico Bereau of Mines and Mineral Resoursces Museum.
