Item Description

Wow! A striking NEW find from the famous Mina Ojuela of Mexico. Vivid, powder-blue aurichalcite, either as SOFT-TO-THE-TOUCH, free-standing, lustrous, fibrous/needle clusters or included in transparent, water-clear calcite rhombs, totally line the vug in the sturdy, very sculptural, ship-like, gossan matrix. The bit of contacting at the aurichalcite is a very minimal detraction. This showy CABINET piece would add pazzazz to any collection!
