This specimen has some decent color to it, but I have none to compare it to, in person. Note the flatlaying but clearly visible and defined crystals. From the noted W.W. Jefferis (1820-1906) Collection, and note the very early accession number of 1830 in the collection which eventually by the early 1900s numbered over 20,000 specimens.\u003C\u002Fdd>\u003C\u002Fdl>\u003C\u002Fdd>\u003C\u002Fdl>",430,{"id":388,"source_url":389,"license_code":285,"credit_html":390,"title":391,"description":385,"author":289,"original_width":326,"original_height":392},52341,"https:\u002F\u002Fcommons.wikimedia.org\u002F?curid=10456220","Robert M.
