Archivo: Gibbsite-fiu04a

Descripción: Gibbsite Locality: Xianghualing Mine (Hsianghualing Mine), Xianghualing Sn-polymetallic ore field, Linwu County, Chenzhou Prefecture, Hunan Province, China (Locality at mindat.org) Size: cabinet, 10.8 x 9.2 x 7.8 cm Gibbsite Translucent, gray-green botryoidal aggregates of greenish-gray gibbsite, to 1.0 cm across, are aesthetically emplaced deep in a vug. I really like the sculptural quality of this specimen and that it shows a whole, entire pocket as found (aside from the quality of the crystallization itself). The shape and look of the botryoidal aggregates are reminiscent of Arkansas wavellite. This is a very rich, fine specimen with unusually large botryoidal crystallization - rarely seen in the find.
