Item Description

Botryogen is rarely seen in crystal form, and the pieces from the Santa Elena Mine are some of the best in the world for the species. This piece features dark orange color crystal of Botryogen on host rock matrix. The fact that they're crystallized is what makes the piece special. This piece is the only specimen of the material that we have to offer in the auctions right now, and comes with a classic label from Josef Vajdak / Pequa Rare Minerals, which immediately increases the value.
