Item Description
Beautiful, isolated rosettes of gemmy, golden-yellow legrandite crystals are aesthetically scattered on the sculptural gossan crust on this outstanding and rare specimen from the Type Locality, not the more well-known Mina Ojuela. The Flor de Pena Mine is a smaller and earlier find in Nuevo Leon, within a completely different location and geology. The isolation and form of the crystal clusters is exceptional. Hard to get in this quality.
