Item Description

Augelite specimens recovered from this 2012 find at the Mundo Nuevo Mine are considered to be the finest in the world. Rich mint-green, sharp, glassy, translucent crystals, to about 1.8 cm, are aesthetically clustered on the dense forest of sprays of glassy quartz points, to 1.8 cm. This very fine large combination plate is essentially pristine, with only trivial perphery wear. Fairly valued at $1500 and worth it. This was not a large find.
