Eagle Eye Mine, Moore Mine group, New Water Mining District, New Water Mountains, La Paz County, Arizona, USA

A radiating aggregate of acicular plancheite crystals from the Eagle Eye Mine, showing distinct zonation from bright blue basally to nearly white distally. The plancheite is intergrown with green conichalcite, which seems to have been deposited near the end of the plancheite phase, being closely intermixed within the outer portion of the crystal ...

8.6 x 6.7 x 5.1 cm. Here you have a rich, hand-sized specimen covered with this beautiful zeolite mineral species - and again, from a zeolite find in Arizona I had never seen a specimen of. I had never myself even heard of mordenite, let alone in sharp acicular crystals like this, from Arizona.

Another puzzler from the Eagle Eye Mine. This is a hollow shell, presumably of limonite replacing an unknown sulfide mineral, on a bed of adularia crystals. The green spots aren't known either - pyromorphite is likely however. S418-052 N3150N A 0.07 cm "crystal"
