Legrandite (rare classic material)

Item Description

Legrandite is one of the great rare species for collectors. It falls into that narrow category of being a great combinations of rarity and beauty in the mineral world. It's one of those minerals that is almost exclusively connected to a single locality, in this case, the famed Ojuela Mine in Mexico. This rare and highly sought after zinc arsenate species is certainly among the most desirable treasures in the mineral collecting world. This thumbnail specimen features a few groups of intense yellow color, Legrandite crystals measuring up to 1.3 cm, sitting on typical Limonite matrix. It's a rich and eye-catching specimen, so if you've ever wanted a showy piece with good sized crystals that won't break the bank, this is a great opportunity to pick up something that is seldom seen on the market, and I don't have to tell you that fine specimens are highly valued on the market.
