Michael Feldman Collection. As stated in my mineral photo, the sample was identified by XRD and XRF. I am not sure if (1) mine mineral lists automatically update the county, and (2) if post-mining minerals should be listed. I am aware that atacamite is frequently post mining. I am not sure here. The crystals were in rocks I broke up, not exposed or in rock with noticeable seams or cracks.
