Item Description
A classic specimen of Ajoite from the type locality, the New Cornelia Mine (Ajo Mine) in Arizona. The piece features a light coverage of soft blue-green micro Ajoite on host rock matrix. If you're a fan of rarities or minerals from the type locality, don't pass this one up. From the collection of Vasco Trancoso, a medical doctor and prominent mineral collector from near Lisbon, Portugal (https://www.mindat.org/user-11954.html). He assembled his mineral collection over the course of 60 years, and built a fine worldwide display collection that we recently purchased. This piece is pictured on mindat.org at https://www.mindat.org/photo-221963.html.
