Item Description

A dramatic, elongated and bulbous, CABINET pseudomorph specimen from Mina Ojuela. One side is comprised of impressive spherical knobs of botryoidal goethite strikingly coated with burnt-yellow limonite. The other side reveals the goethite casts after decidedly different shaped anhydrite crystals: the very imposing long rod; and the ends of at least two, block anhydrite crystals. Highly unusual, rare, sculptural and colorful pseudomorphs from this noted locale and the Dave Stoudt Mexico Collection # 198.
