Specimen formed by a large group of aggregated nodules of variscite with concentric growths and apple green color. They are enclosed in a matrix with limonite. We can see the concentric structures in the natural fracture. Since its discovery in 1970, the Palazuelo de las Cuevas deposit became the "source" of variscite for the NW of the Iberian peninsula.

In this specimen we can see some matrix cavities covered by botryoidal aggregates formed by wavellite crystals. Different layers of wavellite are observed. Its color is greenish yellow and more bluish in some areas by the presence of turquoise. They are partially covered by several small aggregates of lanceolate turquoise crystals (see photo) with a light blue color.

These wavellite and turquoise specimens have been analyzed by microprobe and we will send the results to the purchaser, with the SEM photograph of both species. Palazuelo de las Cuevas area is known worldwide for variscite, that were worked for making beads in the Neolithic period, it was 5.000 years ago.

A very brilliant specimen of wavellite from the classic and historic locality of Palazuelo de las Cuevas, famous for the variscite. In this specimen we can observe perfectly banded wavellite aggregates formed by radiated crystals. The color varies between greenish yellow to deep green. We can see the terminal faces of the wavellite crystals in these aggregates. This sample is from a recent find and it has a quality not seen for a long time. We will send the analysis to the buyer.

In this double specimen we did not want to separate the two parts because symmetry gives them a very nice aesthetic touch. We can observe nodular aggregates of variscite. The green color is very intense. They are embedded in a type of silicified breccia matrix with iron oxides. Both are polished in the front side (which allows us enjoy the structures) and natural cut in the back side. To find samples of this quality you must go back to the past times.

In this double specimen we did not want to separate the two parts because symmetry gives them a very nice aesthetic touch. We can observe nodular aggregates and possible tigmatic folds in the veins of variscite. These meandering folds are caused by the flow of a viscous fluid into a more fluid media. The green color is very intense and it is combined with whitish and yellowish areas. They are embedded in a type of silicified breccia matrix. Polished in the front side (which allows us enjoy the structures) and natural cut in the back side. To find samples of this quality you must go back to the past times.

Specimen formed by nodular variscite aggregates showing concentric growths and intense apple green. They are embedded in a breccia matrix with limonite. It is polished on front side, necessary to enjoy structures, and natural on back side. To find specimens of this quality you must go back to the past.
