5.5x6 cm specimen found on the dumps at the jc holmes mine next to the portal of a tunnel that was driven about 45 feet into the side of the mountain. I went into the tunnel and found no sign of any mineralazation. This is the only specimen of Chrysocolla found at the site . The trip to the mine was put together on Mindat by several "mindatters" including Joylon. Very fun day.
