Item Description

Gorgeous sprays of turquoise-blue aurichalcite needles cover the front and part of the back of the light weight undulating gossan matrix on this very fine, rich and colorful old-timer from famed Mina Ojuela. The intergrown cluster of flattened calcite disks in the center is a nice accent. This classic old-timer dates to the 1950s or 60s finds, with the older label. From an East Coast collection.
