Item Description
Yellow wavellite from Arkansas is hard to obtain, especially in good, aesthetic specimens for the collector. The characteristic that separates this wavellite from other Arkansas wavellite specimens is the color. This is lemon yellow and all the others are various shades of green. The largest sphere measures 1.5 cm across. Very nice miniature of a very rare varietal of wavellite. This is the best specimen I have had of the material. Ex. Martin Zinn Collection. His label is incorrect, the Hot Springs Water Works is in Garland County, not Pulaski. The locality only produced in the early 1970s during construction there. Valued at $350-450
