Large specimen of Ankerite, a mineral similar to Dolomite, on green Mariposite. Quality large specimen with great crystals to over 2cm. Mariposite is a dolomitic marble included by chromium rich mica found in the foothills of California and was often an indicator of nearby Gold and gives this specimen the green coloration.

Wavellite from Montgomery Co., Arkansas, USA [db_pics/pics/M450d.jpg]

Wavellite from Montgomery Co., Arkansas, USA [db_pics/pics/M450e.jpg]

Large specimen of Wavellite with crystal groups on the front, back, right faces. The main display face has well separated hemispheres of Wavellite to 1.2cm wide. I like the perfect rounded hemispheres on the front, but with Wavellite I also like the flat crystal groups that show the radial crystal structures, and this one has that style on the right face. So you get both styles in one specimen. Sawcut on bottom for a sturdy display.
