A good rich cabinet example for the species from this mining district. Light pink lustrous crystals of datolite are throughout this breccia matrix. This is in very good condition. Note that the previous label as shown at the end of the video gives an incorrect locality. We still keep the label with the specimen to keep the provenance intact. Brightly fluorescent red under longwave ultraviolet light.
