Gemmy Legrandite xls (Consie Prince Coll.)

Item Description

Gemmy and lustrous, golden-yellow to straw-yellow legrandite crystals to 8 mm line a nifty, two-tiered vug in sculptural, sturdy gossan matrix on this showy and excellent small cabinet from this famous Mina Ojuela. This rare zinc arsenate is one of the most sought after treasures in the mineral collecting world. Legrandite from Mapimi is among the most famous mineral occurences extant and is a Holy Grail Mexican species. The bit of periphery wear is certainly a modest detraction to this cutie. Ex Consie Prince Collection.
