4.1x 2.1x 2.8 cm
$980
A great example of deeply colored scorodite on the typical limonite matrix, from Ojuela. Of all the examples in this update, this piece has the best combination of color, size, and lustrousness of the crystals, though as you can see the cluster has some edge contacting.
Please note, there is strong color change-- the color is best when viewed in indirect sunlight or equivalent lighting, and it looks rather sad in incandescent light. This is not the sapphire-like Zacatecas blue, but it certainly approaches the color of the very good Tsumeb pieces. In the correct lighting, I'd even say the color is better than the pictures where it looks a bit darker.
