Conichalcite with Calcite (Ref: 21.1-177)
Mina Ojuela, Mapimi, Durango, Mexico
74mm x 56mm x 37mm
minID: XK0-DGH
A fine and unusually esthetic Conichalcite from the mid 1970 finds at the legendary Mina Ojuela. This piece looks great on three sides, the Conichalcite forms vivid small green spheres some with clear sharp Calcite crystals. On one face of the specimen the Conichalcite balls have formed selectively over Goethite rods or "fingers". On another side the Calcites have grown over the Conichalcites which allow the bright green color to shine through. Conichalcite is not rare from Ojuela but such large, showy and esthetic specimens are rare. Excellent example of this important specie and very fine for this classic mine as well.
