Xocomecatlite is an extremely rare Cu-tellurate found at only seven localities worldwide (MINDAT).

The sculptural quartz matrix wedge hosts bright and rich crusts and microcrystals of emerald-green xocomecatlite along with silvery grains of what appears to be hessite, not petzite and scattered flecks of free gold. Very rare combination material from this locale from the Dr. R.J. Bowell Collection. A MUST for the locality or species collector. Value??
