Ultra rare specimen of blue Scorodite crystals on drusy Quartz. The Cabrestante produced what are considered the world's finest Scorodite specimens. There were not many specimens found, including one pocket with brown quartz and another with the prefered white Quartz. This specimen has crystals to 1.3cm wide on white Quartz. There is some chipping to the surface of some of the crystals. Comes with old Fred Pough and Lawrence Conklin labels. The old Pough label incorectly lists the mine name as the Noche Buena Mine.
