Regional guide
Creedite from Navidad Mine, Mexico
from the Navidad Mine is one of the great “available classics” of modern Mexican mineral collecting: distinctive enough to recognize across a room, abundant enough that serious collectors can still acquire fine examples, and good enough that the best pieces stand comfortably among world-class creedites. The hallmark is the orange to burnt-orange floater cluster—rounded balls and intergrown rosettes bristling with sharp, glassy, radiating blades. Many specimens look less like ordinary matrix pieces than crystallized sea urchins or flower heads, with individual creedite prisms thrusting outward in all directions from a hidden core.
