	JC4416.  Slightly different view
	JC4417.  Ludwigite.  Iron Mask  (Spring Gulch, Valley View) mine.   Quartzite (White Rock) canyon, Spring Mountain district, nr. Big Windy Peak, Lemhi Co., Idaho.  1.5 x 4.5 cm single crystal.  23g.  $35.00.  A single crystal, quite typical, with no distinctive termination.  There is minor calcite in the cracks.  The brown color is the unknown Mn-Fe-B alteration that affects the majority of crystals in this deposit.  Where the brown color is not present, the ludwigite is black and pitted looking.

Big Windy Peak, Lemhi Co., Idaho.  10 x 11 cm.  704g.  $100.00.   A flat plate with numerous black to brown coated ludwigite crystals.  The ludwigite crystals have an etched and pitted look for the most part, and are nearly flat lying, to vertical, on the matrix.  Hard to photograph from the side due to depth of field problems.  The photo below is shot from more of a side view to try to show how the crystals stick up.  None of them are terminated as is typical for this deposit.   Not pretty, but noteworthy for the size of the crystals.
