Item Description
Some of the largest and most displayable specimens of Wavellite have come from the Siglo XX mine in Bolivia as described by Mark Bandy. This piece does not disappoint with several, fine, rather lustrous, cream color, sphere-shaped radiating aggregates measuring up to 7 mm with a few Quartz crystals. This is one of the better quality, displayable specimens of this material that I've offered in the auctions recently. The luster is very on this one, and not at all dull like so many can be.
