Plattnerite

Ojuela Mine, Mapimí, Mapimí Municipality, Durango, Mexico

The metallic, acicular, Plattnerite crystals may be deposited on green, botryoidal Mottramite as it looks similar to my sample. A better description for the pictured phase would help as well.

I agree, there may be plattnerite present on the specimen, but hard to see in this image. Should be labeled mottramite.
