Description

Prince Mine Variscite is a highly silicated form of variscite making it hard enough to use in many forms of jewelry.

These outstanding variscite specimens were sourced from the Prince Mine in Mineral County, Nevada, which produced unique, mint green variscite with dark spiderweb patterns during its 2005 mining operation.

The mine has been closed and buried as part of the owners’ reclamation efforts.

We acquired this from Gallery TCR in Phoenix, Arizona, and were fortunate to obtain a limited quantity of these exceptional nuggets.  We look forward to cutting this beautiful material.
