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 features a couple good quality white, sphere-shaped radiating aggregates measuring up to 1.1 cm on GEM quality Quartz crystal matrix. This specimen was collected in September of 2010, and would make a great addition to a phosphate suite or a suite of specimens from the Siglo XX mine.
