Hi, James

The Tri-State District is located on three different states, Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma. What should we do then? Just write Tri-State Mining District, USA, as Mindat does? And what if the locality was Viburnum Trend, which is in Missouri?


Hi Don,

If there is a bit of matrix on the back of the specimen, this could be the key. Tri-State specimens have a gray chert matrix, while those from the Viburnum Trend are hosted on dolostone or silicious limestone, never chert.

After some discussion and a photo showing the matrix of the specimen, it was agreed that this specimen was from Missouri's Viburnum Trend. The matrix is clearly a brecciated dolostone which is a characteristic of this district. Location data was updated accordingly.

Incredibly distinct phantoms/zoning inside of the crystals, I would like to see some detail shots of them :-)

Thanks

Thanks for the closer shots, wonderful crystals and a gorgeous specimen overall, I love the contrasting pyrite that grew on the fluorite!
And what does your phone say when it reads the QR code? ;-)
