Description

Wavellite is a classic mineral for the Ronneburg uranium deposit. It's quality can be decribed as world-class.
This specimen is the best I've seen for sale ever, only some museums and miners may own similar ones.
The item shows perfect, multi colored wavallite as typical sun. The size varies from several mm up to 5,5 cm in diameter. An enomous size for the mineral and the location. The specimen comes with the original label of the former collector.
