Kidwellite hemisphere from the old locality on Indian Mountain north of the extinct town of Bluffton, Cherokee County, Alabama. These specimens that have a velvety coating of fine kidwellite fibers are EXTREMELY difficult to collect. Even the slightest touch leaves scars on the soft surface. Specimens like this that are in vugs are the only ones I have successfully trimmed and mounted. FOV is about 1 X 1.5mm. Canon 40D with a 30mm B&L objective, bellows configuration and fluorescent ring light with diffuser. Stacked using Combine ZP.
