Description

Finally after nearly four years searching I found another sample of hanahanite from the Redmond mine. This is one of the rarest of the new species from the mine, and this is only the 6th specimen I have found including the type samples. The vug hosts a tiny greenish-blue cluster of hexagonal hanahanite crystals in association with elyite. Extremely rare and the only sample I will probably ever have to offer.
