For systematic collectors this is a really important specimen. It is Brianyoungite from the Type Locality - Brownley Hill mine, Nenthead, Alston Moor, Cumbria, England - but more than this, it was collected by the person this species is named after: Brian Young. This information is all usefully recorded in an accompanying print out. The Brianyoungite is small, forming tiny snow-white dots made up of microscopic sprays of bladed crystals and broader white coatings. Later colourless glassy Gypsum var. Selenite encapsulates most of the more wider areas of Brianyoungite, but the minute spherical microcrystal are uncovered. Ex Mike Brooke collection, no. MB1186.
