Orange/red Crocoite crystals associated with Quartz crystals. Some of the Crocoite are transparent. Yellow coatings of what is likely Vauquelinite are also present. Bereszovsk is the Type locality for both Crocoite and Vauquelinite. Crocoite was first described from this mine way back in 1766 and this specimen is potentially hundreds of years old.
