Item Description
Here is a wonderful sharp thumbnail pseudomorph of copper after a hexagonal aragonite crystal from the famous locality of Corocoro. These floater specimens are well known from Bolivia for their great form. These pieces are some of the most well known and highly sought after pseudomorphs around. It looks just like an old, rusted six-sided steel drum from a drum kit! A pristine floater. Ex Jaime Bird Collection. The old Hamel Mining & MInerals label from the 1960s or early 70s has a $35 price.
