Item Description

Augelite specimens recovered from this small 2012 find at the Mundo Nuevo Mine are considered to be the finest in the world. This cute and aesthetic miniature is dominated by the 1.8 cm, sharp, glassy, translucent, rich apple-green and colorless augelite crystal and is nicely accented by the two smaller augelite crystals and the surrounding forest of water-clear quartz points. A striking and rare 9 mm across Japan-law twin quartz is on one side of the piece, adding much pizzazz. This aesthetic 360-degree combination miniature is in great shape, with only a bit of periphery wear, which is certainly only a modest detraction to this super piece.
