Wavellite (rare green color)

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 colored Wavellites I have seen from this prolific locality. Dozens of rather lustrous, sparkling, soft green color radiating aggregate of Wavellite measuring 5 mm across are associated with minor Quartz on the underside of the specimen. The key aspect to this piece is the fact that there is a full coverage of Wavellite. The luster is certainly better than most I have seen from this locality, and the odd color makes for a really nice touch. Most Wavellites from Siglo XX are either white, cream or beige colored, but green is very hard to find in my experience.
