Both tripkkeite and embreyite seem to be very rare minerals known from 4 sites worldwide; Mindat doesn't list those at the Rawhide Mine, so as for now I can only believe the label, that says trippkeite is green here (specimen to be analyzed, though). Trippkeite is yet another species confirming the "rule" that simple chemistry is not that common ...
