Item Description
A striking CABINET combination specimen from recent finds at Mina Ojuela. The beautifully sculptural, very sturdy gossan matrix has a sailing ship shape with a bow. The tiered "decks" and rear "cabin" vug are filled with sparkling, glassy, calcite rhombs. Rich "treasure" perhaps on a pirate ship? Very pretty powder-blue aurichalcite is included in some of the calcite rhombs, which really heightens the eye appeal of this showy piece. The base has been sawed to ehance the display quality.
