Item Description

Here we have a wonderful and fine quality small cabinet sized piece of the rare and highly sought after calcium zinc arsenate species Austinite, from the world famous Ojuela Mine in Mexico. The piece hosts eye-catching, radiating aggregates of gemmy, lustrous, soft greenish-yellow colored Austinite aesthetically perched atop the contrasting Limonite matrix.. No major damage that I can see with the naked eye and it's just as attractive in person as it is in the video. The largest group measures 1.7 cm across. This is a great specimen of this classic material from this world-famous locale. Very hard to find on the market today, especially in this size/quality. Valued $2,000
