VPP-F54Juanitaite (Cu,Ca,Fe)₁₀Bi(AsO₄)₄(OH)₁₁·2H₂O

North Star Mine, Mammoth, Tintic Mining District, Juab County, Utah, USA

Associated species not seen in this image are azurite, baryite and mixite. Acicular greenish yellow crystals, also not shown on this photo, were checked by EDS giving an almost identical pattern as for both the crystals in this photo and juanitaite from the Gold Hill Type Locality in Nevada. These acicular crystals are actually zoned with the juanitaite at one end and mixite at the other end. Collected in April 2002
