Santabarbaraite from Kerch Peninsula, Crimea, Ukraine

Sprays of vivianite covered brown santabarbaraite which has also partly pseudomorphed the vivianite and on a dark lustrous goethite matrix. Santabarbaraite consists of x-ray amorphous replacements of vivianite. Usually pretty ugly, this is a nice one.
