Item Description

A 1.3 cm spray of gorgeous, gemmy and lustrous, rich yellow, legrandite crystals is the focal point of this showy miniature from the renowned 1970s finds at the famed Mina Ojuela. The sculptural gossan matrix plate hosts more legrandite crystals and a few, bulb-like, creamy, smithsonite crystals. Excellent combination material from the 40-year collection of Tucsonian Harold Urish.
