This specimen is ugly, but when was the last time you saw a Bolivian scorodite? This specimen consists of a cluster of quartz crystals, richly covered with a crust of botryoidal scorodite.
As with scorodite from many other localities, it will change color depending on the lighting under which it is viewed. The image below shows the color under incandescent light, and the images at right are closer to its appearance under natural sunlight.
