A close-up of an excellent Tiger specimen from the John C. White collection, 3 cm FOV, with superb crystals of Diaboleite, as vibrant blue crystal plates, and Phosgenite, as cream to pale yellowish spire-like groups. Mr. White mentioned at the 2009 Seattle Mineral Market that he obtained the specimen at a highly discounted “close-out, or going-out-of-business” sale held by Schortmann’s Minerals in July 1967 for the price of $5.00. Robert Meyer specimen and photograph.
