Item Description
The famous Mina Ojuela has produced a NEW find of this beautiful and striking combination material. Glassy, transparent, calcite rhombs to 2.2 cm across ARE richly, aesthetically and preferentially included with beautiful, robins egg-blue aurichalcite. The amount of aurichalcite included in the calcite rhombs is highly variable, which really adds to the attractiveness of this fine piece. The dramatic, overall quality of this piece is very minimally impacted by a bit of trivial edgewear. A stunning new find and thumbnail specimen.
