A 2 mm diameter spherical spray of silky orange-brown acicular Jamesite crystals sits atop of a 1 cm long cavity lined with felt-like silky Jamesite.

The main matrix of the specimen is dense oxidized ore the base of which has a large (2 x 1.5 cm) area of vivid yellow Tsumcorite. Many other unusual species may well be present, including insipid green ?zincolivenite and various white crystals. A rich specimen of unusual oxidation species.
