The mineral is present as pale green-yellow, subhedral crystal sections to 2 mm in aggregation with blue, subhedral blades of diaboleite to 5 mm along with granular paralaurionite and leadhillite. Ex. Paulo Matioli collection with label and a label from Dakota Matrix Minerals indicating the piece originated from the Phillips collection.
