Description

Blue wavellite is a rarety worldwide. To find a blue wavellite from Ronneburg must be ranked much higher, I haven't seen any within the past 15 years. So I was very suprised and excited to come across this one! It is a fantastic rich specimen with hundreds of wavellite-suns all over. It was part of the famous collection of the Mineralienniederlage in Freiberg/Germany and comes with the original label.
