Several dozen tiny Augelite crystals rest on the shale base of this hand speciemen. These crystals generally measure no greater than 0.1" (3 mm) in length, but one measures 0.2" (5 mm). All appear to be in excellent condition and show excellent triclinic tabular or prismatic form. All have the pale green color and vitreous luster that are common for pieces from this locality, and all are transparent and dimly to moderately clear. The Augelites are accompanied by many tiny (nearly microscopic) quartz and siderite crystals.
