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 is a unique specimen, and one of the few green Wavellites I have seen from this prolific locality. The piece is coated by pale green color, radiating aggregates of Wavellite on matrix. To find green Wavellite from Siglo XX is certainly rare, and this piece is more than just a Wavellite from Bolivia, it's a very intersting and unusual phosphate specimen from any locality.
