The spectacular display of colors these specimens display can be formed by two different geological processes: the oxidation of pyrite causing ultra-thin layers of iron oxide to form on the surface

Creedite Chrysanthemum Metacanthian Trilibite from the MidKnown 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.
