TE16AL7: A novelty at Tucson 2020. Druse of bipyramidal Creedite crystals with sharp pointed terminations, between transparent and translucent, lustrous, and with a light violet color. On matrix with crystallized green and violet Fluorite. This specimen is quite different from the others known from this locality in recent years, although some old collection have similar specimens from the same place, which coincides with the indications that this find was made in old mine galleries.
The specimen has been reviewed, photographed and published as a new discovery in the magazine ‘Mineralogical Record’ on page 494 in the volume 51, number 3, May-June 2020 and in the monograph 'Mexico X' on page 873 in the volume 55, number 6, November-December 2024
