Small patches of creamy white Shannonite, a very rare mineral from less than 10 localities worldwide, scattered on a reddish-brown breccia matrix. The small vug to the left contains a creamy white mineral, which is probably amorphous Cerrusite. The more reddish mineral in some places may be Minium, another lead oxide. Lead seems to be the common theme in this unusual combination of minerals.
