A novelty for Tucson 2009. Dendritic aggregate crystals, deformed but very sharp faces and edges. Partially covered by octahedral crystals of Cuprite and small crystals of Cerussite, which is a very uncommon paragenesis. The sample is from a recent find (July and August of 2008) at a Russian locality practically unknown until now. The specimen has been reviewed, photographed and published as a new discovery in the magazine ‘Rivista Mineralogica Italiana’ on page 280 in number 2009/4
