Great combination of characteristic crystals of La Farola mine, such as garnet (var. almandine), pirite, hematite rose, calcite and amphibole. Noted for the aesthetic roses of iron.
Anatacamite perfect triangular crystals, arranged on elongated paratacamite crystals can be seen with the naked eye. This combination gives the appearance of a small saw, with big teeth of intense green bottle color.
Deep green bottle crystals of atacamite with minor pseudomalachite, chrysocolla and goethite. Very aesthetic and clasical sample of “La Farola” mine, ideal for the microscope photo.
Deep green bottle sun crystals of atacamite with minor pseudomalachite, crisocola and halloysite. Very aesthetic and clasical sample of “La Farola” mine.
New sun-shaped crystals of dark green atacamite superimposed on a layer of tan halloysite. Other minor associated minerals, but not present in the photograph, are pseudomalachite and libethenite.
A new discovery of atacamite was found this year in the coastal area of Carrizal Bajo. Hundreds of perfectly terminated, translucent crystals appear throughout much of the sample.
