Item Description

Some of the most aesthetic and displayable specimens of Wavellite have come from the Siglo XX mine in Bolivia as described by Mark Bandy. This piece does not disappoint with a pair of sparkling, pale yellow color, sphere-shaped radiating aggregates which are pierced by a GEM quality Quartz crystal, surrounded by smaller Wavellites on black Cassiterite matrix. The Wavellite spheres are totally undamaged and very attractive, and they even fluoresce under UV light!
