Up until about 2005 this style of Creedite was unheard of, at Navidad mine in Durango, Mexico, or elsewhere. Some really great aesthetic specimens were produced - like this one - but then the mine closed down. What distinguishes these from most other world occurrences of Creedite is their orange colour, presumably due to inclusions of iron, and wonderful star-burst form, with several radiating aggregates joined to form a longer specimen. The bladed Creedite crystals are in exceptional condition, with very few broken on either side, and the combination with purple Fluorite adds to the spectacular display. Cabinet in size, this is an extremely fine Mexican display specimen of what is a quite rare species. Ex Arvid Pasto collection no. 1375.
