Item Description
Lustrous, translucent, vivid apple-green, conichalcite botyroids cover the sculptural, vuggy gossan matrix on this impressive, colorful, LARGE CABINET specimen from the famous Mina Ojuela. Clusters of off-white calcite scalenohedrons are a very fine accent to the rich green. This dramatic, large piece probably dates to the major 1975 find of this material. Uncommon and most excellent in this very large size. Ex Dennis Mullane Collection.
