Wavellite (new find)

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 many lustrous, white to pale peach color sphere-shaped radiating aggregates creating a very attractive and aesthetic specimen. There are Wavellites on both sides of the specimen, and as you can see there are spots of Pyrite and Quartz on the piece as well. The quality of the Wavellite spheres is good, especially when compared to finds from the last 15 years at Siglo XX. A nice display specimen of an uncommon mineral.
