Item Description
An outstanding and beautiful specimen from the 1960s finds at the famous Mina Ojuela. The gorgeous tufts of turquoise-blue aurichalcite and in fact the entire surface of the sculptural, bowl-like vug in thin gossan crust are covered with sparkly, water-clear calcite rhombs. The separation of the aurichalcite tufts and the sparkly 100% calcite coating are especially noteworthy. Valued at $750.
