Geology & Origin

Mina Ojuela near Mapimí in the state of Durango is one of Mexico’s most famous mineral localities and is especially known for its wide variety of secondary minerals. Mottramite is a secondary lead copper vanadate that forms in the oxidation zone of ore deposits. It develops through the alteration of primary sulphide ores under the influence of oxidising, vanadium-bearing solutions and typically occurs as crusts, botryoidal growths, or finely crystallised aggregates.

 

The flat shown in the pictures will be shipped with the corresponding box and, if applicable, folding boxes. These may be partially used, show signs of wear, and have multiple labels or markings.
