Item Description

An artistic, free-form, combination specimen from a New Find at the famous Mina Ojuela. The sculptural, sturdy gossan matrix (looks like a sandal) hosts a beautiful, pretty teal-blue, rosasite botryoid rosasite along side a festooning of sparkly, contrasting, rich grass-green, conichalcite microcrystals. The vug in the sandal heal hosts glassy gypsum blades. Very nifty. Excellent combination material from this historic old mine, that just keeps on producing surprisingly fine specimens.
