Legrandite
Mina Ojuela, Mapimi
Durango, Mexico
3.6 x 2.3 x 2.1 CM (small miniature/ large thumbnail (toenail))
price: $860
Sharp, gemmy and in fine condition, a vug in gossan matrix protects sprays of bright yellow Legrandites. This is a famously delicate and rare mineral, the best crystals in the world are from Mexico, many years ago at the original Flor de Peña Mine and from Ojuela very sporadically. Several years have passed without any new finds of quality. This piece dates to the mid 1970 era. Small but choice and remarkably perfect this can be trimmed to a killer thumbnail if wanted.
