This fine specimen is from a very short-lived find in an incredibly inhospitable locality in the Sahara Desert. After getting specimens out for awhile, the two guys who found them eventually gave up, since the specimens were isolated and not in pockets with lots of specimens, so that it just took too much work in awful conditions to make it worthwhile. They have a smooth silkiness to them, and a very different-looking and gorgeous glowing purple color.
