A fairly large, rich specimen with sharp crystals of ludlamite, nicely isolated on matrix and to 6 mm in size. A partial vivianite crystal is off to one side, and small smaltite (by xray) crystals accompany. Classic old material from the 1960s era of mining here! Purchased in 1968 towards the end of the productive years when the mine was open. I personally think these discrete ludlamite crystals characteristic of the locale, nicely spaced on matrix, are among the finest for the species.
