Item Description
A beautiful, exceptionally rich, evenly colored, sparkling green coating of well-crystallized austinite covers a matrix on this cute miniature specimen. Aggregates of radial divergent sprays of this calcium zinc arsenate form tightly intergrown, sparkling botryoids. A rich and super miniature for the species from the finds in Ojuela in 2008-2009. No more has come since, of this quality! Normally this is a very rare species, so this find produced what most people consider to be the best of species in terms of beauty.
