Mottramite

Item Description

A sculptural cluster of botryoidal mottramite from the famous 2011 find at the Ojuela Mine in Mexico, which many consider the best find of this species (and from which the most expensive examples we know of have come). Tsumeb was the prestigious locality for the species for many decades until this significant find. This piece consists of rich, matte green, stacked and elegantly piled botryoids (balls) of mottramite that are selectively highlighted with olive-green tones. This is a very three-dimensional example of the find! It had an old price from 2011-2012 of $2500
