Coronel Manuel Rodriguez Mine, Mejillones, Antofagasta, Chile

description:

Gorgeous crystallized blue cluster of colorless gemmy lecontite to 6.5 cm in length forming a 20.0 x 7.0 x 7.0 cm cluster topped off with beautiful blue crystallized salammoniac. This is post mining material found in the tailing ponds about 1 mile from this mine. The blue color due to copper. Outstanding for both species, please note that these are water-soluble and over time in high humidity the lecontite may alter to white tincalconite but still should remain very attractive. Displays beautifully and in excellent condition. Shipping weight: 1.51 pounds.
