SOLD Aurichalcite
stock #SOLD 20.1-457
Mina Ojuela, Mapimi
Durango, Mexico
7.3 x 4.4 x 3.4 CM (cabinet)
price: $0


The amazing mines of Mina Ojuela have produced many wonderful and colorful minerals over almost 4 centuries. Aurichalcite is classic for the locale, this one with very good color and a few clear Calcites for contrast. The acicular needles that are protected in the 2.5 CM vug are in fine condition, the other crystalized areas show some matting of the crystals. Displays well.

Aurichalcite
stock #AX-10-868
Mina Ojuela, Mapimi
Durango, Mexico
7.3 x 6.8 x 3.8 CM (cabinet)
price: $420


A rich and large vug of Aurichalcite crystals in hairlike masses and clusters. Excellent color and in very fine condition. A classic from Mina Ojuela, this is a fairly old (1970-80 era) specimen and far better than the usual seen from this locality .It has a very large blue zone, long hairs (to well over 1 CM) in thick layers and has real display impact. Very few minerals in the world have this exact color, it stands out in any cabinet!

Aurichalcite in Calcite

Mina Ojuela, Mapimi
Durango, Mexico
5.3 x 4.1 x 3.4 CM (small cabinet/large miniature)
price: $330
new year 2021

A very colorful Aurichalcite specimen that was in the collection of Warren Johannson. The Aurichalcite is seen through a lustrous clear layer of Calcite that has crystallized on top. The Aurichalcite is clearly seen through the Calcite and the whole is vividly colored. An older Ojuela specimen from the late 1960 era.

Aurichalcite
stock #19.AX-886
Mina Ojuela, Mapimi
Durango, Mexico
5.7 x 5 x 3.2 CM (cabinet)
price: $390


A dense carpet of bright blue-green needle crystals of Aurichalcite on Gossan Matrix. An older Mina Ojuela specimen, this is in impressive condition for such an obviously fragile mineral. This locality has been a source of world class Copper, Lead and Zinc minerals for centuries. Especially amazing under magnification, this small cabinet specimen has a rich three dimensional character and displays well.

Aurichalcite with Hemimorphite
stock #18.1-746
79 Mine, Hayden, Banner District, Gila County
Arizona, United States
4.7 x 4 x 3.8 CM (miniature)
price: $1100


An outstanding Copper specondary specimen, a miniature Aurichalcite from the famed 79 Mine. The condition is exceptional and the display impact is also top notch. Some of the best Aurichalcites ever found came from this small mine years ago but are not often available in this quality. In incredible undamaged condition, remarkable for such a delicate specimen. A few small clear balls of radiating Hemimorphites add a nice contrast too. Brilliant color and luster give this a great display impact much bigger than the size. Really far better in person.
