Scorodite is a striking iron arsenate mineral, typically found in beautiful shades of blue to blue-green. It rarely forms large, well-developed crystals, and only a handful of localities worldwide have produced fine, visible specimens.
This is a nice scorodite specimen from an old find at Ojuela, displaying a mosaic of saturated blue crystals on a typical gossan matrix!
