Lustrous, lemon yellow spherical aggregates of 1 mm crystals of jouravskite in balls to 1 cm across, contrast nicely with a thin layer of an chalky white xonotlite, which in turn is emplaced on massive hematite ore. A sparkling plate of this rare species, in itself world class by previous standards! This pocket produced two styles of crystals, these small sugary "sprinkles" and large disc-shaped crystals of greater size but less luster.
