Instead, it typically occurs as rounded, botryoidal or globular aggregates composed of extremely fine particles. Its appearance can range from waxy masses to attractive, slightly translucent formations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pale blue-green allophane patches contrast nicely against the rusty orange-brown limonitic matrix and the darker black manganese-rich areas. The specimen has a very natural, geological look. It tells a story of secondary mineralization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRare mint-green Allophane from the famous Kelly Mine is particularly interesting for its blue to blue-green colour. The mine is a historically important mineral locality in New Mexico, better known for its smithsonite but also producing a variety of less commonly encountered secondary minerals. Excellent thumbnail locality specimen for advanced mineral collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eName: Allophane\u003cbr\u003eSpecimen Size: Thumbnail-Sized\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 26x26x22 mm \/ 1.0x1.0x0.9 inches (including box)\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 4.5 grams \/ 0.1 Ounces (including box)\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: Mined in Kelly Mine, Socorro County, New Mexico, USA\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Canagem.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":71865741902077,"sku":"02-01111","price":25.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0053\/3309\/0374\/files\/20261109_135212.jpg?v=1794276198","url":"https:\/\/canagem.com\/products\/allophane-perky-box-thumbnail-specimen-kelly-mine-new-mexico-usa","provider":"Canagem.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
