Item Description
This material is well known from the La Reconquistada claim (prospect near Dolores mine) in Spain which is not only the Type Locality for the species, it's the ONLY known occurence in the world. This piece features micro yellow-green groups of this very rare arsenate along with green Conichalcite and Lavendulan according to the label. This material is extremely hard to find on the market, and for rare micros, the color is certainly eye-catching. Ex Paolo Matioli Collection.
