A great miniature sized matrix specimen of nikishcherite, with a few small greenish brown ball-like clusters of hexagonal crystals on a nicely contrasting matrix coated with something black.

This species is the iron rich analogue of shigaite, and was first described in 2001 from specimens produced during a single find that occurred in 2000.  At the time, there were estimated to be fewer that 200 specimens in existence— this recent find only bumps that up by a very small number.
