Massive Esperite makes up a considerable portion of this small cabinet specimen. It shows no crystal form whatsoever and has a rather drab, dull-gray color and matte luster. However, when bathed in shortwave ultrviolet light, it glows a bright yellow, and is thus easy to define from the accompanying willemite, which glows a brighter, green color. Some chalcopyrite or bornite is also present in the piece.
