Creedite Garnet Pyrite formations tend to be

Pyrite formations tend to be shiny and metallic

sometimes in the same formations

This mineral forms in a similar fashion to agates and geodes but due to heat and pressure at the time of formation results in a distinct look and almost silky texture

large calcite crystals and the dusting of fine gold from the pyrite is unique to specimens from this specific region of China and have not been found anywhere else

The herring-like fish of the genus Knightia were far and away the most abundant freshwater fish during this era

Creedite Garnet Pyrite formations tend to beKnown for its beautiful prismatic crystals, often radiating outward from a central axis, Creedite is named for the place of its initial discovery, the Creede Quadrangle in Colorado. Creedite is a rare mineral in the hydoxylhalide group and is often formed from the intense oxidation of fluorite formations. Only known from a relatively small number of formations worldwide, Creedite is sought after for its unique fine crystalline structure.
