A novelty at Tucson 2020. Druse of sharp short prismatic Creedite crystals, with very sharp terminations, with bright luster and a light violet color, on matrix, with crystallized Fluorite that is bicolor green and violet. The specimen is very different from others that have come from this locality in recent years, although some old collections have similar specimens from this mine, which coincides with the indications that this find was made in old galleries of the mine.
