Description:This is a rare specimen, the first I have personally seen, of material I could only find referenced in an Arizona Bureau of Mines report. Harold Urish selfcollected this in 1999 at the soccalled Gods Claim , here. It features unusual, acicular crystals of mimetite on a background of green mineralization which, according to that report as summarised on MINDAT, may be descloizite or bayldonite
