A large matrix piece showcasing sharp barrel-shaped crystals to 1.3 cm of the classic yellow-orange color from this locality, from mid-1990's finds. This is from the collection of mine owner Bob Hopper, now deceased, which was long kept in the company office along with a seriously large guard dog. For the sheer size and beauty, combined with the crystal quality, this piece is a value. (last priced at $6000 by the former dealer in the early 2000's, before being sold into a collection from which I obtained it in exchange). Joe Budd photos.
