Erythrite came at its best from this mine, but only in a few finds of the distant past, a group of larger crystals with generally lesser luster from around 2002; and, now, a few small pockets that have been found in 2009-2010. This is an exceptional example from the recent finds (2009-2010) which was brought to market at the St Marie show in June of 2010. It features crystals of the best color, with the best metallic luster, and an intense brightness to them. Some are actually gemmy and transparent - rare in the species! The piece is complete on both sides, and 360 degrees around. I have seen several larger from this find, but not with such aesthetics and impact. Specimens of this quality have not been available for a long time and, I think will still be rare even if the mine produces a few pockets each year.Joe Budd Photos
