The photo shows clear crystals of bodieite with subadamantine luster. The apparent coloration comes from the green richelsdorfite fingers behind the crystals. This is one of 5 cotype specimens deposited at Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. Collected by MarekC in 2017. Photographed by Tony Kampf at the Museum, posted with permission.
