Vuagnatite and McGuinnessite (type locality) (Ref: AX-10-938)

Red Mountain, Mendocino County, California, United States
98mm x 62mm x 31mm
minID: 42C-X47
A sizable matrix densely covered with white to colorless Vuagnatite crystals and contrasting McGuinnessite in green spheres. Vuagnatite is a rare mineral discovered in 1975, and McGuinnessite is very rare, discovered in 1981. This is from the type locale for Mcguinnessite, and is a very good specimen of both species. This could easily yield several fine thumbnails if trimmed out. Very good color and bright sparkling luster make this an unusually attractive rarity.
