Item Description
Lustrous, translucent, spherical aggregates of grass-green conichalcite fully line the striking, ribbed, boxwork vug on the sculptural gossan crust on this aesthetic and colorful specimen from Mina Ojuela. A field of glassy, colorless calcite crystals is a nice accent. It displays well from either side. This fine piece probably dates to the major 1975 find at this historic locale. Ex Consie Prince Collection.
