0803 Metatorbernite, Heulandite, Ray Mine, Scott Mountain area, Mineral Creek District (Ray District), Dripping Spring Mts, Pinal Co., Arizona, USA

Said to be uncommon at the Ray Mine, this metatorbernite is beautiful and hardly even looks hydrated enough to be metatorbernite. Perched upon a bed of clear white heulandite crystals, this all makes for a glorious micromount. It’s flat on the surface of a chunk of wood or cork resting upon a pedestal that could be a toothpick. The actual specimen measures 5x4mm.
