QFK-F8YWildcatite CaFe3+Te6+O5(OH)
High Grade Hill prospect, Wildcat Project, Detroit Mining District, Juab County, Utah, USAField of View: 1.70 mm
Dull orange-brown wildcatite coating fracture surfaces of jasperoid in a radiating pattern, field of view 1.70 mm. The radiating pattern may be due to replacement of carlfriesite, which is known at this locality to form radiating crystal groups of this size.
Specimen number: NHMLAC 74539
