Magnificent color and electric luster characterize the original legrandite from the Aztec Sun pocket, and this is one such piece. It glows with a metallic yellow color. Modern legrandites found at the same locality in the last decade have a more lemony color and less luster to them - nothing matches these from the first big find here in the early 1980s. The spray is just over 2 cm long.
