Item Description
Osarizawaite is a relatively uncommon Lead, Aluminum, Copper Sulfate and even though the type locality is the Osarizawa mine, Kazuno City, Honshu Island, Japan, some of the most well known were found in the Silver Hill District in the Waterman Mountains of Arizona in the mid 1980s. This piece hosts beautiful micro greenish-blue crystals of this hard to find species on matrix. I've photographed the crystals under the microscope to better show the quality and detail. A cool smaller specimen for your rarities collectors out there, or Airzona collectors. The piece comes with a David Shannon label, which states that the piece was mined in April of 1986.
