Description

Auricalcite included in calcite. These are calcite crystals, which turned blue because auricalcite was included. The faces therefore remained shiny. This is an Ojuela classic, and perhaps unique in the world. The quality of this sample is very high. The color is truly crazy, it captures the eyes without ever tiring them. This type of association is highly sought after by collectors, and is now very rare. Sample from an acquired collection.
