Legrandite (Type Locality) on gemmy Sphalerite (superb)

Item Description

Superb, isolated, gem legrandite crystal rosettes are very aesthetically clustered or isolated on the undulating, layered latticework of 100% tiny sparkly, gemmy, dark-olive-greenish smithsonite crystals. Sphalerite specimens are very rare from this locale, but are a dead giveaway to the Type Locality origin, not Mina Ojuela. The Flor de Pena Mine is a smaller and earlier find in Nuevo Leon, within a completely different location and geology. The gemmy crystals and association are exceptional. Extremely rare in this combination quality. Valued at $1200. Total gem beauty for this two-sided specimen. You almost never see for sale this type material!
