Translucent, gray-green botryoidal aggregates of greenish-gray gibbsite, to 1.0 cm across, are aesthetically emplaced deep in a vug. I really like the sculptural quality of this specimen and that it shows a whole, entire pocket as found (aside from the quality of the crystallization itself). The shape and look of the botryoidal aggregates are reminiscent of Arkansas wavellite. This is a VERY RICH, fine specimen with unusually large botryoidal crystallization - rarely seen in the find, and thus the pieces stands out from the rest here for that reason.
Stalactitic fingers of botryoidal, translucent, greenish-gray, gibbsite to 1.0 cm across, point skyward in an aesthetic manner. Unusually dramatic , 3-D specimen.

This oysterlike specimen exhibits botryoidal, green gibbsite, to .3 cm across, nestled in a vug.
Emplaced on a crust are botryoidal aggregates of greenish-gray gibbsite, to .3 cm across. Pretty piece but with some obvious front damage.
Almost covering all sides of a stalactitic finger of matrix are translucent botryoidal aggregates, to .7 cm across, of greenish-blue gibbsite..
Emplaced on a 3-dimensional crust are botryoidal aggregates of greenish-gray gibbsite, to .3 cm across.
Covering a large crust of matrix are botryoidal aggregates of translucent, greenish-blue gibbsite, to .5 cm across. Very large and colorful plate for the find!
Thin septae of matrix are host to one layer thick, botryoidal aggregates of greenish-white, gibbsite, to .5 cm across. A very 3-dimensional piece with unusual color gradation to a pastel powder-blue in some places.
