Photo of What I've Learned on DG

I have some of these which I have not been able to identify. The pic has more
red tint from my camera than is true color. Should have more tan in the standards
and a brownish copper in the falls. Closest one in HIPS is 'copper lustre'
(Kirkland 1934). The pic in HIPS is not the best of quality since it was copied
from a catalog--they didn't have digital cameras in the 30's.

Again, it is difficult to make a true id from just a picture.
