ALD09 Cuproaustinite
Mina Ojuela, Mapimi, Durango, Mexico
12.1x 6.6x 5.7 cm
A cabinet sized example of deep green cuproaustinite form a find made several months ago at the Ojuela Mine. There were some austinites found last year in the same area, but these were mainly the "regular" yellow austinites. Good, copper rich green examples have been somewhat more scarce. This was the best piece in the group I obtained.
