Item Description

Outstanding and rare large combination from this extinct Nevada gold mine. The sculptural vug hosts numerous hemispheres of glassy mint-green Wavellite lathes accented with pleasing clusters of pretty blue-green Variscite botryoids. The vug is Quartz lined. The broken wavellite spherules highlight the striking radial growth of the shimmering chatoyant lathes. The vug is set in a matrix of silicified, sulfide bearing carbonaceous shale. Ex Martin Jensen Collection, a well-known geologist and Nevada specialist, who collected the specimen. See the 2001 Mineralogical Record article co-authored by Martin in Vol. 32, No. 4. This exceptional and rare Nevada combination displays well without aid.
