Cleaning out some old boxes and found a specimen of cacoxenite, etc. from the Coon Creek Mine in Arkansas. This would have been collected on one of the famous (or infamous) Coon Creek trips in the 1980's. Cacoxenite growing on beraunite completely pseudomorphed by goethite with a small group of strengite crystals. FOV is about 2 X 3 mm. Imaged with a 48mm B&L objective on a bellows mount. Canon 40D with a fluorescent ring light. Stacked using Combine Z
