Item Description
This wonderful small cabinet display specimen is a sculptural, classic and showy piece of the famous and distinctive Mottramites from the famous Ojuela Mine in Mexico. It features aesthetic botryoidal groups of velvety, elongated greenish-brown Mottramite "balls" forming stalactitic columns to create this highly aesthetic and three-dimensional specimen. This piece is from the late 2011 find at this historic mine and were a major hit at the 2012 Tucson Show. Superb quality and excellent form. No major damage that I can see on the display with the naked eye, but it is contacted on the back. The piece displays beautifully as you can see from the photos. A must have for any collector of secondary ore minerals or specimens from the Ojuela Mine. Valued in the inventory at $1,000.
