Nestled in a limonite vug is a velvety, sparkling layer of lustrous, forest green olivenite, in slender acicular crystals to .2 cm in length. This is a REALLY good example particularly for the locale, in terms of attractiveness and size...and the species is really quite rare outside of a few other localities.
