Old specimen loaded with colorless, transparent Tarbuttite crystals on matrix. There are good crystals showing all over. Tarbuttite is a rare zinc phosphate mineral and Broken Hill is the Type Locality for the species. This specimen has quite a history dating back to George Burham in 1950, Tony Jones in 2007, and the David H. Garske collection.
