Rare, sharp euhedral crystals of hopeite perched in the most unlikely place - inside a vug of blue smithsonite! This is very rare from Broken Hill, especially in this quality, and without the hopeite association I would have doubted it thoroughly! This was surely mined prior to the 1960s when the locale was at its peak.
