Item Description

Beautiful rich powder-blue and blue-green turquoise botryoids fill numerous striking vugs on four sides of the fantastially sculptural large boxwork matrix on this RARE, old-time specimen from this obscure extinct Arkansas phosphate mine. This material was collected by the mine owner over 40 years ago and stashed in his garage. We recently obtained some specimens from him. Never on the market in this quality and richness!
