Item Description

The famous Mina Ojuela has produced a NEW find of this beautiful and striking combination material. Glassy, transparent, calcite rhombs to 1.7 cm across ARE richly and aesthetically strewn on the "deck" and "superstructure" of the fabulous boat-shaped, sturdy, gossan matrix. The vug is lined with beautiful, robins egg-blue aurichalcite needles. Some of the calcite rhombs are included with aurichalcite and some are not, which really adds to the attractiveness of this fine piece. This is a dramatic, superb and pristine example of this stunning unique find from summer 2009.
