Item Description

A striking and excellent combination specimen from this renowned locale. Bone-white, hydrozincite botryoids with acicular habit dramatically fill numerous vugs on all sides of the scultpural gossan matrix and are nicely complimented by clusters of glassy, colorless calcite rombs. Fine old-time combination material from the major finds of the 1960s, as Bob Trimingham purchased this piece in 1966. Fluoresces a pretty white-blue.
