Dimensions (mm): 45 x 50 x 20
Dimensions (inches): 1.8 x 2 x .75
Origins: from the Stand on Your Head Claim, Arkansas
Cookeite is not particularly rare however it is rarely pretty. Here you have pretty green balls of cookeite. And you have to love the name of the claim. I asked the claim owner about that and he said he was being literal that most of the collecting is done suspended upside down.
Cookeite is a lithium aluminum silicate. Solution quartz, a relatively rare phenomenon, is when the quartz grows in a gel as opposed to a true liquid or gas
