A good representative Augelite specimen from Machacamarca featuring many sharp, lustrous, translucent monoclinic crystals with Quartz on matrix. Some of the Augelites are very good-sized for the locality and, along with the Quartz crystals, are included with an unknown black mineral (possibly Jamesonite). The two-tone effect created from the inclusions makes for an eye-catching piece as a lot of the specimens from this mine are not terribly colorful. A cool cabinet sized specimen of a species that is rarely offered for sale on the market.
