BV2 Sigloite ps. Paravauxite 

Siglo XX Mine, Near Llalagua, Oruro Dept., Bolivia

In 2006, miners at the Siglo XX (translation: Twentieth Century) Mine recovered some of the best paravauxites ever found.  This specimen is on the larger side of those recovered.

In addition to the green paravauxite, there is also sigloite. The two minerals differ chemically by a single water molecule.

These are no longer being found.  A miner had stashed a small quantity of these away, and I purchased them all.

This piece is more three-dimensional than usual, and the crystals are less jumbled together.  It is my favorite piece from the group.
