A magnificent example of this rare species from the type locality in Nevada!!! This impressive specimen hosts a very rich showing of
intense crimson red getchellite with yellowish orpiment!!! This specimen hosts a very rich showing of rare getchellite visible
on all sides!!! There are signficant crystals of getchellite all over the specimen!!! There are well defined micaceous "books"
and platey crystals in abundance!!! Upon close inspection with a loupe or scope one can see significant crystalline features as
well!!! Upon close inspection there may be some tiny grains of rare laffittite present as well!!! This is a magnificent example
of the species with significant size, and is quite showy in person!!! Older material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
