Description

This superb toenail specimen of wavellite from the premier finds in Arkansas shows very plainly the internal structure of massed radial growing out from the center. This is actually a "ball inside a ball" - you can see the thin "shell" of the original ball that was later enclosed. This split ball sits up perfectly on a natural base of matrix with a layer of Wavellite on it. Ex. Feist Collection.
