QUOTE In the U.S., the best specimens are radiating crystal clusters from pegmatite pockets of the Florissant region of Colorado. I have some!  QUOTE Crystal description- Small, black, shiny, equidimensional crystals rare. Commonly in slender flattened plates, velvety surfaces of needles, and occasionally in brilliant rosettes of radiating plates. Also fibrous-massive with reniform surfaces; compact or earthy, even vitreous in the type called Glaskopf. Compare with limonite (following). Golden needles included in quartz.
