Item Description
An showy and excellent combination specimen from Mina Ojuela. A nifty spray of graduated-size, glassy, hemimorphite blades is aesthetically attached to the side of sculptural gossan matrix covered with tufts of apple-green, chonicalcite micro-needles, which in turn, are made sparkly by a overgrowth of water-clear, drusy calcite. The hemimorphite spray is complete all-around and essentially pristine. The smallest blade on the back is broken, but is totally out of sight. The archintecture and color variations of this fine combo piece are very noteworthy. The glassy calcite druse adds much pizzazz. Ex Dick Heck Collection.
