2.71 lbs Brochantite, Atacamite & Calcite 1 pc Collector Mineral - Ojuela Mine L171
This lot presents a notable cabinet-sized specimen originating from the oxidation zone of the Ojuela Mine. The piece stands out for a complex mineralogical association: an extensive coverage of secondary copper minerals (Brochantite and Atacamite) that unfolds in rich crusts of a vibrant emerald green color, complemented by whitish and earthy crystallizations of Calcite hosted in the rock's vugs.
As the photographs reveal, this solid 1.23 kg (2.71 lbs) and 16 cm long specimen has an imposing physical presence. The contrast between the iron oxides of the matrix (gossan), the vibrant green tones of the sulfates/chlorides, and the light touches of calcite tell the fascinating geological story of its formation. It is an excellent centerpiece, ideal for display due to its large size and mineralogical richness.
