Item Description

Lustrous, bubbly, botryoidal aggregates of grass-green conichalcite fully line the sculptural gossan crust on this striking and colorful specimen from Mina Ojuela. Scattered, tiny, coloress, gem calcite rhombs are a nifty accent. This fine piece probably dates to the major 1975 find at this historic locale. Classic Ojuela conichalcite.
