The blue green cryptocrystalline material is most likely chrysocolla. If the occurrence was in calcic willemite, and franklinite ore, I had similar, if not identical, mineral analyzed back in 1972 or '73 BK (Before Kolic) and it was chrysocolla. I believe the occurrence was from one of the stopes of the 340' level. Wallkilldellite is from this assemblage, so take a very close look!

Hi Peter,


Thanks.


I don't remember the matrix - I'll have to dig it up tomorrow. If it's a match, I'll add chrysocolla to the caption.
