The intriguing blend of colors from one mineral to the next actually creates different hues and colors.
A limited number of these unusual "kaleidoscope" type specimens
were found by myself and another collector on the last night of the dig. Everyone else had left for the night. We stayed since
in the morning, the mine was to be backfilled. These "kaleidoscope" specimens came from that deepest exposed level.

Miller Canyon, Huachuca Mountains, Cochise County, Arizona

Super bright shortwave fluorescent red/ orange CALCITE, green
WILLEMITE and blue -white HYDROZINCITE! Outstanding three color plus rare location makes this a real top shelf keeper!
Willemite in this specimen is also PHOSPHORESCENT! This very rare and extremely remote location
is noted as a producer of fluorescent minerals that rival Franklin, New Jersey in brightness and color. Refer
to "FLUORESCENCE Gems and Minerals Under Ultraviolet Light" by Manuel Robbins, pages 17, 204 and 213. This may
be the last opportunity to acquire one of these remarkable beauties. The hillside outcrop where these specimens come from
is played out and due to Federal regulations, nothing but nonmechanized hand tools are permitted for collecting or traveling
to the site. All collecting equipment and specimens have to be carried out in backpacks for several miles over dangerous
terrain and steep elevation changes. From Miller Canyon, Huachuca Mountains, Cochise County, Arizona. Specimen
is a very large cabinet size. 2.5" x 5.5" x 5.75" Note coin for size reference.
