Item Description
An artistic combination specimen from a recent find at the famous Mina Ojuela. The very sculptural boxwork gossan matrix has a few pretty teal-blue, botryoidal rosasites (some coated), a very rich covering of tufts of contrasting, green, conichalcite microcrystals and a striking festooning of very glassy, gemmy, colorless, hexagonal, tabular calcite rhombs. Excellent and elegant, multi-sided combination material from this historic old mine, that just keeps on producing surprisingly fine specimens.
