Wavellite (good quality)

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 specimen is from a brand new find of this material, and literally came out of the ground a few months ago. This piece features several attractive very pale yellow color, rather lustrous, gemmy, sphere-shaped radiating aggregates and single crystals of Wavellite measuring up to 5 mm across associated with prismatic gemmy Quartz crystals on matrix. The quality of the Wavellites is very good, especially when compared to finds from the last 15-20 years at Siglo XX. I have photographed some of the Wavellites under the microscope to better illustrate their quality. A lovely display specimen of an uncommon mineral.
