Ferrimolybdite / Molybdite Boracite A few accenting blades of

A few accenting blades of Ferberite and nearly micro Quartz crystals sit on the matrix to create this beautiful and three-dimensional display specimen

Specimen # BOL711B250

concludes from studies (as-yet unpublished paper 4/2011) that these and all San Juan quartz epimorphs apparently after Baryte are in fact after anhydrite”

The crystallized Quartz surrounding the Brookites is rarely seen from this area and makes for such a lovely and eye-catching overall piece

Ferrimolybdite / Molybdite Boracite A few accenting blades ofA rarely seen Ferrimolybdite from the famous Climax Mine. This is actually a SIGNIFICANT Molybdenum mine with a very large open pit and some underground tunnels. This specimen hosts soft yellow semi powdery crusts of Ferrimolybdite or possibly just Molybdite sitting on "sericite" matrix. Minerals of Colorado 1997 mentions Ferrimolybdite as occurring from Climax but also states that Ferrimolybdite was formerly referred to as Molybdite and implies that
