Item Description
Legrandite is one of the three Holy Grail species from Mina Ojuela, along with manganoan adamite and scorodite. This beautiful slender spray has rich lemon-yellow color, high luster and some of the crystals are strikingly gemmy. Complete all-around, one of the four crystals does have a broken tip. This remains a very fine, above average gemmy thumbnail from the historic 1960s and 70s finds.
