A fine cockscomb spray of gemmy, lemon-yellow legrandite crystals wraps around a bar of gossan matrix on this Mina Ojuela thumbnail from the Ed Ruggiero Collection. This was a very rare style for the species, from one famous pocket in the early 1970s. Ed purchased this thumbnail from Pala Properties in October, 1975.
