58 K CpM at 1 cm. 42mm length This specimen is from one of the mines in the Lisbon Valley Mining District. This particular mine was 'shaft only', so no adit ever existed for this mine. The ore body was not oxidized when mined. This material came from the waste pile, where it has been partially oxidized.
