Gorgeous, highly lustrous spheres of Wavellite, on matrix (Novaculite) that also appears to be covered in Planerite. The Planerite hasn't been confirmed, though, just a likely guess. Ex Jack Halpern, Kevin Brown and James Webb. Photo by Joe Budd, posted with permission. Also pictured in the Mineralogical Record, May-June 2013, page 344. This specimen has now moved on to another collector.
