TC25 Turquoise and Wavellite
Palazuelo de las Cuevas, Zamora, Castile and Leon, Spain

4.1x 2.9x 3.0 cm

$88

A rare specimen of turquoise on wavellite from Spain.  Turquoise from this locality is unique in that it is reasonably well crystallized, though the crystals are smaller than those from the Lynch Station, Virginia locality.

The microcrystals are easier to discern on the reverse of the specimen--those coating the wavellite are too closely spaced, though even the close-ups below show some degree of crystallization.
