Item Description

This aesthetic and colorful specimen features numerous, bright orange-yellow, small spheres of Descloizite mounded up on each other all over the display surface. The Chalk Mountain Mine is unique for its brightly colored, vibrant, orange-yellow Descloizite and this is a large and showy piece for the locality. There are even a few individual, lustrous, elongate prismatic crystals of silvery olive-green Arsenic-bearing Vanadinite on the tops of some of the Descloizite spheres for added interest and contrast. UNUSUAL material, with a neon, strange color to it. From the diverse and historic collection of one of the great field collectors and mineralogists of mid-1900s Texas, Albert Kidwell of Houston (1919-2008), after whom the mineral Kidwellite is named.
