Item Description
The famous Mina Ojuela has produced a NEW find of this beautiful and striking combination material. Glassy, transparent, calcite rhombs to 1.4 cm across are richly and aesthetically strewn across the starkly contrasting, sturdy, gossan matrix. The matrix is nearly covered with beautiful, robins egg-blue aurichalcite needles. Some of the calcite rhombs are included with aurichalcite and some are not, which really adds to the attractiveness of this fine piece. The dramatic, overall quality of this piece is very minimally impacted by the periphery wear around the edges of the vug. A stunning new find.
