As with the pink fluorites from the same locality, until these creedites were discovered, good crystallized specimens were exceedingly rare and expensive from ANY locality. Suddenly, you could own a really fine creedite without selling your house to get it. Then, a couple of months back, we heard that the mining was FINISHED, apparently for good. We were lucky enough to put some aside before the mining stopped. This is a cluster of about a dozen balls of crystals, covered with gemmy orange creedite crystals to one centimeter in length! Significant for the species, AND it happens to be beautiful as well.
