Duftite with Calcite (ex Kay Robertson Collection)

Item Description

Gorgeous botroids of Duftite cover the underlying matrix and are associated with sparkling, vitreous colorless Calcite. No real damage to speak of, save the periphery where it was removed from the pocket wall. This old material, easily dating back to the 1960s and very hard to find on the market today. If you collect Mexican minerals or specifically minerals from Ojuela, don't miss out on this attractive old timer. Ex Kay Robertson Collection (#959).
