Description
A classic thumbnail-sized mineral specimen curated during our active workshop loops. This sharp wavellite specimen features beautifully developed, radial acicular crystal aggregates forming distinct spherical and botryoidal clusters. The crystal formations display a vibrant, deeply saturated green coloration that stands out in sharp relief against the underlying host matrix.
Sourced from the historic Mauldin Mountain locality, this piece serves as a textbook geological example of secondary phosphate mineralization within the structural fracturing zones of regional Arkansas novaculite strata.
