Item Description

A rich and sculptural, two-sided crust of juicy, translucent, seafoam-green, cuprian austinite in nubby, rounded aggregates from the famous Mina Ojuela, Mexico. The austinites on the backside are covered with rust-brown iron oxides. Interesting chemistry here. This is classic, excellent material from this noted locale. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
