Detailed Description

This wodginite crystal has some sharp, lustrous faces. It formed in a constrained space and so in places the crystal is incomplete where it grew up against other minerals surrounding it. In excellent condition, no damage (just the inhibited development). An interesting wodginite that looks great from the main display angle.

Their idetification has been confirmed at the University of Arizona, and, along with subsequent EDS work, it has been established that of the various members of the wodginite group, they are wodginite.
