Item Description

A classic, very showy combination specimen from the famous Mina Ojuela of Mexico. An elongate, 3-dimensional vug in sturdy gossan matrix is filled with translucent, olive-green mimetite botryoids. Beautifully accenting the mimetite is a rich dusting of classic, glassy, "sandwich-style", wulfenite crystals to 5 mm. The overall piece is in excellent shape, with only periphery bruising. This excellent specimen dates from finds in the 1960s or early 1980s. Ex Consie Prince Collection.
