Spherical mounds of white Wavellite covering a druse of Quartz crystals. The locality is an old Gold Mine and specimen collecting there started with the discovery of the world's best Fluellite in one area of the mine. Small vugs containing Wavellite, Variscite, and Fluellite were found in a hard, grey rock matrix. This specimen appears to be all Wavellite, but some micro Fluellite could also be present.
