Wavellite

Item Description

A really attractive and showy specimen of velvety / vitreous, rich green Wavellite botryoids from the famous Dug Hill locality in Arkansas. The largest complete "ball" measures 8 mm across, though some composite groups are larger. Classic material, and certainly some of the most beloved Wavellite in the world for color. Typically, the spheres from this locality are broken / contacted because of the nature of the mining process and how the pieces formed. This piece has many complete undamaged spheres, and the only real damage is around the periphery where it was removed from the pocket wall. Great quality, color and size! Wavellite is not often seen with such intense coloring, and the material from Arkansas is among the finest for the species.
