Aggregate, on matrix, of very well defined and bright Covellite microcrystals. They are larger than usual for the locality, they have an intense brassy color and a small oval area that shows an intense metallic-blue iridescence. The sample is from a find in 1996. Subsequent finds have been sporadic, practically non-existent, either in that zone or the rest of the mine, which currently is now completely inactive.
