Large cabinet specimen filled with light grey to colorless hemispherical "crystal balls" of Wavellite. Each group is to about 2-3mm. A nice specimen for this mine which is probably unattainable. I believe it is all reclaimed. Specifically the specimen was found at the North Wilson mine, within the complex associated with alkalic intrusives about six miles from Magnet Cove. The mine is famous for its Sincosite, which at one time was maybe the second world occurence behind Sincos, Peru.
