Description

This specimen from Majuba Hill is a wonderful example of the fine arsenate minerals the locality is renowned for, especially scorodite. The specimen features many sparkling green-blue translucent balls of scorodite crystals, accompanied by glassy transparent green pharmacosiderite "Jello" cubes, and neon green tufts of acicular arthurite within the numerous tiny vugs on the surface of the specimen. The intricate crystallization and vibrant colours make it a fascinating piece to examine under the microscope, highlighting Majuba Hill's reputation as a premier source for these rare and well-formed arsenate minerals.
