Item Description

The famous Mina Ojuela has produced a NEW find of this beautiful and striking combination material. Two, glassy, transparent, calcite rhombs to 2.0 cm across are aesthetically set in a sculpural vug in starkly contrasting, sturdy, gossan matrix. The vug is lined with beautiful, robins egg-blue aurichalcite needles. The calcite rhombs are included with aurichalcite and have grown around aurichalcite needles, which really adds to the attractiveness of this fine piece. The dramatic, overall quality of this piece is very minimally impacted by the trivial edgewear to the calcite rhombs. A stunning new find.
