Item Description

Lustrous, bubbly, botryoidal aggregates of grass-green conichalcite fully line the sculptural curved vugs and prominent central ridge of the sturdy gossan matrix on this striking and colorful large specimen from Mina Ojuela. Scattered, tiny, colorless, gem calcite rhombs are a very nifty accent. This fine piece probably dates to the major 1975 find at this historic locale. Classic Ojuela conichalcite with three super display views.
