It is still possible to collect wavellites in Arkansas, but not easy to find nice ones such as this. These spheres measure to 0.6 cm. On the periphery are a few whose "shells" have been naturally peeled away to show an intense pea-green color in the center. Perhaps it is 2 entirely separate generations of growth? 5.8 x 5.0 x 2.5 cm
