An uncommon CABINET plate of bright, velvety, acicular aurichalcite on a matrix of limonite, with wonderful sea-foam green color. In one area are some small translucent calcite rhombs included with aurichalcite, so that they have picked up its color. A very rich and pretty Mapimi specimen! This is old material, seldom seen, and a very rich and large example at that.
