Mineral Specimen #1312 Calcite on Endlichite (Arsenian Vanadinite)
Erupcion Mine, Ahumada, Sierra de Los Lamentos, Chihuahua, Mexico
This specimen has the distinctive long narrow needle like crystal habit common for Endlichite from Los Lamentos. What is very uncommon, is the overgrowth of small fine Calcite crystals on the Endlichite crystals. There are also some unusual curved Endlichite crystals. The specimen is in very good condition with no appreciable damage.
