Augelite included with Jamesonite(?) Metavauxite and aesthetic to be sureThe largest crystal on this specimen is one of the biggest Augelites that I have seen from Bolivia. Its amazingly well formed, sharp, surprisingly lustrous, and DOUBLY TERMINATED! It is associated with a few smaller (but not small by any means) Augelites of similar quality. Interestingly, the crystals are included with an unknown blackish mineral (probably Jamesonite) to create an eye catching two toned effect. This piece was difficult to photograph,
