Extremely fine crystals of Piemontite to 1.6cm in a vug with peach colored Tinzenite and Quartz, from a new locality at the upper end of Ash Canyon in the Huachuca Mountains. Specimen was aquired from Dave Garske, and collected by "Morion" several years ago. This locality is several miles from the locality for Tinzenite referenced in "Mineralogy of Arizona".
