Item Description

A striking, very colorful, two-sided, combination specimen from Mina Ojuela. Gorgeous tufts of sparkly and gemmy, turquoise-blue aurichalcite needles richly cover the sculptural gossan matrix. Disclike Calcites are included-by or lie atop aurichalcite in the large vug. The backside hosts nifty radial sprays of what seem to be acicular hemimorphite needles next to the bright aurichalcite tufts. This is very fine, seldom available, old-time combination material from the Consie Prince Collection.
