Item Description

Aurichalcite is a signature species from the famous Mina Ojuela and this is a very fine and colorful colorful example. A very sculptural vug is lined with glassy calcite coating bright robin's-egge blue aurichalcite. White hemimorphite blades on the bottom of the vug are an nifty accent. Classic and excellent older material from the famous 1960s-70s finds from the Robert Fender Collection.
