Item Description
The famous Mina Ojuela has produced a NEW find of this beautiful and striking combination material. The large vug is filled with beautiful, scintillating, soft-to-the-touch, felt-like, robins egg-blue aurichalcite needles and rests on a sculptural, sturdy, ship-shaped, gossan matrix. A few, small, aurichalcite-included, calcite rhombs are scattered about. The dramatic, overall quality of this piece is very minimally impacted by the contacting to the aurichalcite. A stunning new find.
