Creedite

Creedite was named after Creede, Colorado. In the United States of America, creedite is found not only in Colorado but in Arizona and Nevada. Large crystals, about 1 inch long, have been found at the Colquiri mine in Bolivia. Stunning crystals have also come from Mexico and Kazhakstan (like the specimen shown here).
