VERY RARE specimen from Guanajuato, Mexico. Very shiny Valencianite crystals partially covered by Quartz and yellow Calcite crystals. Biggest crystal: 2.6 cm.


Valencianite is a typical mineral from Valenciana mine. This mine was closed in 2005, after this and other mines in Guanaguato city where sold to a Canadian company. After the sale, Valenciana mine was flooded and no one removed the water, so the mine did not work since then.
