Description:An interesting and rarely seen specimen of Planerite with Turquoise from the classic General Trimble's Mine in Pennsylvania. The piece originally comes from the collection of Allen Heyl and was part of Rich Kosnar's collection. According the Allen Heyl's label, the Turquoise on the specimen is cation deficient, although, according to mindat.org, Turquoise is not reported from the locality. The entire specimen could possibly be Planerite.
