GEMMY and lustrous, yellow legrandite crystals to 4 mm aesthetically fill a vug in matrix along with tiny spherules of an unknown orange-brown mineral, that could be mimetite or an iron oxide, from the famous Mina Ojuela of Mexico. The legrandites are SUPER BRIGHT and EXTREMELY GEMMY, with lemon yellow color. This is a very fine miniature, considering the quality of the legrandite crystals and the vug and matrix shape. 5.0 x 2.8 x 2.5 cm
