Opaque but sparkly, red-brown, tabular vanadinite crystals to about 6 mm on a white barite (?) and black manganese hydroxides/oxides matrix, associated with abundant, massive to crystalline gypsum. The gypsum displays a whitish fluorescence; weakly under shortwave UV but strong under longwave UV (blacklight). An unusual association; of the 1675 vanadinite specimen photos for this locality host at Mindat only four include gypsum. A few incomplete vanadinite crystals are noted but overall condition is very good.
