Up until about 2005 this style of Creedite was unheard of, at Navidad mine in Durango, Mexico, or elsewhere. Some really great aesthetic specimens were produced - like this one - but then the mine closed down. What distinguishes these from most other world occurrences of Creedite is their orange colour, presumably due to inclusions of iron, and wonderful star-burst form, with several radiating aggregates joined to form a longer specimen. The bladed Creedite crystals are in exceptional condition, with very few broken on either side, and the combination with purple Fluorite adds to the spectacular display. Cabinet in size, this is an extremely fine Mexican display specimen of what is a quite rare species. Ex Arvid Pasto collection no. 1375.

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.
