Dylan Simmonds' Collection - I am a core logging geologist with Vale in Sudbury. I'm just getting started here on Mindat! I have noted some small secondary selenite crystals to 3mm from Garson Mine. They are located within an oxidized sulphide zone where we drilled through an old stope. This is purely visual identification

the crystals are well formed and clearly show the correct habit. Note that I do not currently have the means to take a decent enough picture. Thanks!
