Although it does not look like much to the worldwide collector, this is actually a pretty good combination, locality piece for this mine. The johannsenite is the small brownish crystalline material forming the blanket in which are set sharp sphalerites, and matte galena. From the well-known Tucson collection of 40-year collector, Harold Urish.
