Large Green Aragonite Slice
Add a Matching Display Stand
A gorgeous stone find from an Ancient Roman Copper Mine! Teal green bands of Aragonite crystals form this stunning specimen from La Profounda Mine, Carmenes, Leon, Spain. This ancient Roman mine is located between the villages of Carmenes, and Villamanin, Spain. While the mine has been closed for many years, an ambitious miner decided to revisit this location and discovered something truly special.
Inclusions of copper mineralization have caused the typically colorless Aragonite crystals to turn a gorgeous teal-green color. The beautiful bands of Aragonite also display incredible chatoyancy, or a “cat’s eye” effect, which is a result of light reflecting off thin crystal fibers within the stone.
The stone was extracted from the mine and cut into a slice or slab shape, with the front of the stone polished to a high gloss finish.
