Specimen Size: 0.5 mm bipyramidal crystal
Field Collected: Bob Wilken
Catalog No.: A Bob Wilken specimen and photo
Notes: [bw] "This isn't the best or the sharpest torbernite xl I have. In fact, it's a little granular. At the beginning stage of deterioration? But ... it's ... probably the best example of a bipyramidal one that I have from anywhere. My Plume ones are a little on the big s side and look paler than when I put them in boxes." [tm] Torbernite crystals seem to loose their intense green color as they age.

Field Collected: Don Dallaire - 1985
Catalog No.: A Don Dallaire specimen & photo
Notes: Don stated "from Palermo #1 mine. I collected from the bottom of the arch in 1985. We stood in the back of a large pickup truck to reach it. Couldn't do that anymore after Bob lowered the road under the arch to get access to pump ot the water. There were a lot of torbernite specimens but this one came off in a 21 cm plate and was covered with 0.5mm crystals with great color."
