collected by Patrick E. Haynes, a beautiful Zippeite from the Happy Jack! this mineral has greater meaning than most considering that Pat got it at a Mine that i had been to before. still dont know how he found it.... let me explain: it was at the top of a very large mountain in the middle of nowhere. i mean literally, in the middle of nowhere. collecting at this mine is almost as good as the views you get when driving up to it!!! you can see for miles!!!! its basically the painted desert where you can go rock hounding for uranium!!
