Item Description
Kottigite is a VERY RARE mineral from the famous Mina Ojuela and this an outstanding specimen. A fabulous, 1.6 cm, starburst of highly lustrous, platy, brassy blades with a hint of green is aesthetically set on the sturdy gossan matrix. Kottigite is related to legrandite, of which, Mina Ojuela is renowned. This striking piece is from the small finds of the 1960s and 70s. Kottigite is an Ojuela classic and is very difficult to obtain in this super quality. Ex John White Collection of Seattle.
