Coquimbite, Javier Mine, Ayacucho Department, Peru, Page -1 |
|
This new find of coquimbite from Peru is said to be the finest known to date, according to those who have
seen them. Some of the crystals reach gigantic proportions but were a little too doggy looking for my taste,
so instead I picked four pieces of nicely isolated crystals that still had some crystal size. Very attractive!
