Dan travelled himself to the museum in Rhodesia to make some exchanges in the late 1960s. I cannot say this is from the museum there 100%, but odds are high.\u003C\u002Fdd>\u003C\u002Fdl>\u003C\u002Fdd>\u003C\u002Fdl>",{"id":200,"source_url":201,"license_code":173,"credit_html":202,"title":203,"description":192,"author":177,"original_width":204,"original_height":186},18663,"https:\u002F\u002Fcommons.wikimedia.org\u002F?curid=10453073","Robert M.

This EXTREMELY RICH and showy honeycomb specimen from the Brent Lockhart Collection has gemmy and lustrous, orange-brown hopeite prisms to 3 mm on a nearly solid matrix of glassy, pastel yellow-green parahopeite crystals. Broken Hill is the Type Locality for parahopeite. We lovingly call them bat-poop minerals because their crystallization is spurred by the rich nitrates from centuries, or millenia, of bat droppings in the caverns here (so I have been told long ago!). Uncommonly pretty combo material for these two dimorph species, which probably dates to the 1950-60s.\u003C\u002Fdd>\u003C\u002Fdl>\u003C\u002Fdd>\u003C\u002Fdl>",500,360,{"id":224,"source_url":225,"license_code":173,"credit_html":226,"title":227,"description":220,"author":177,"original_width":228,"original_height":229},59552,"https:\u002F\u002Fcommons.wikimedia.org\u002F?curid=10144523","Robert M.
