A heafty thumbnail cluster of the rare mineral kesterite. The kesterite at this locality is actually dark and metallic, but a thin mushistonite coating makes them all look green/ orangish. This is a very good thumbnail example of the species, certainly larger than the average specimen. For a while in the 90"s these were called "pandaite" and were thought to be a new species, but were subsequently discovered to be a combination of two already known species.
