Phenakite is very rare from Colorado in anything beyond single crystals and thumbnail specimens. This is a robust, thick miniature comprised of sharp phenakite crystals to 1.7 cm, forming a tight and solid cluster. High luster, complete all around, and hugely important for the location. From Tony Nikischer's collection (via Florence Mecke).
