Legrandite (rare classic material)

Item Description

Legrandite is one of the most desirable rarities in the mineral world, and a superb combination of rarity and beauty. Although it has been found in multiple world localities, it is almost exclusively connected to a single locality, in this case, the famed Ojuela Mine in Mexico. This rare and highly sought after zinc arsenate species is certainly among the most desirable treasures in the mineral collecting world. This small cabinet specimen features lustrous, sharp, gemmy, intense glowing yellow color Legrandite crystals measuring up to 5 mm, sitting on typical Limonite matrix. There are some contacted areas, but many of the Legrandites are undamaged and look great up close. It's a rich and eye-catching specimen, so if you've ever wanted a representative piece with good sized crystals that won't break the bank, this is a nice opportunity to pick up something that is seldom seen on the market, and I don't have to tell you that fine specimens sell for huge money these days.
