Description/Interesting Notes:
An absolutely incredible example of BLUE wavellite from a small new find in Arkansas!!! This specimen is
from a tiny single pocket that produced a handful of uniquely colored wavellite crystals!!! This specimen
has an extraordinary BLUE to blue green color - it actually exhibits a significant color change depending
on the lighting!!! In sunlight or full spectrum fluorescent lighting the specimen exhibits a unique blue
green color that is unlike anything else I have ever seen in the mineral kingdom!!! In regular incandescent
lighting, the specimen exhibits a more bluish color that is unlike any other wavellite I have ever seen!!!
They could easily be mistaken for a curious looking vauxite rather than wavellite!!! I must stress that the color is way, WAY better than these
pictures show - and the hue has a more unique blue-green tone to it!!! The color is truly unlike that of ANY other mineral I can think of and the
color is super-rich!!! This specimen is in fantastic
condition with highly lustrous crystals that show marked translucence as well!!! In some areas on the specimen
one can see distinct color zoning in the cross-section view of some of the "balls" of crystals!!! The "cores" of the
crystal contain some tiny green areas while the vast majority has this unusual blue color - the result is a very
unique color expression indeed!!! The color is much more unique and dynamic than the pictures show!!! You don't
want to miss out on this rare opportunity!!! The pictures don't even come close to doing this specimen justice!!!
