Volborthite (Ref: 17EF06)

Milpillas Mine, level 26, Cuitaca, Municipio Santa Cruz, Sonora Mexico

15mm x 11mm x 3mm

Small rosette aggregate of Volborthite crystals with a deep olive-green color, on matrix with small whitish Dickite remnants and with small fibrous Malachite crystals with a lighter green color in the center of the piece. These Volborthites were the great sensation at Tucson and Sainte Marie in 2015, despite the fact that the number of specimens found was quite limited. Currently the mine from which this specimen comes is closed.
