Super miniature of this rare find at Qinglong. The most attention was generated by the find in spring 2025, which I also have listed a specimen of, but this find with more lavender creedite was in November 2025 and is a very unique and pretty combo. For Jarosite, the bronze coloured crystals on this piece, it is the first time this mineral has been found in China, it’s the second find at this location for Carlhintzeite which so far has only been reported as white or colourless, on this piece it’s both white and yellow.
