Well formed Adularia crystals which are a muted orange color. On one side of the specimen, there very small, micro, transparent crystals of Adularia. This specimen was listed as also having native Copper which was at first hard to locate due to alteration to unidentified green to blue/green colored species on the surfaces of the Copper. The mine is now connected underground to the nearby Caledonia mine. This was done due to safety regulations.
