Wavellite (M605)
A nice and showy specimen of somewhat velvety, attractive green wavellite botryoids from the Mauldin Mountain quarries of Arkansas. The largest "ball" measures about 8 mm across. Classic material and certainly some of the most beloved wavellite in the world for color. The luster is definitely above average, and the large majority of the spheres are complete and not broken in half, which is significant as many wavellites you'll see from this locality features a lot of incomplete and just plain broken spheres of wavellite.
