Rare Ajoite and Papagoite in Quartz from Arizona

This is a brand new, historic discovery from the mountains of southern Arizona. This unique material is a fantastic blend of very rare Ajoite and Papagoite in quartz with a mix of precious metals that includes gold, silver, palladium, platinum, and rhodium, plus other copper associated minerals such as cuprite. This is the first time that this beautiful combination of Ajoite and Papagoite has been recorded in crystalized form together within a quartz matrix making it a fantastic material for lapidary use in cabochons or as display specimens.

This is the first time that we are making a small amount of this material available to the public. We are offering a limited amount of selected A grade slabs and cabochons suitable for fine jewelry making exclusively through this outlet for a limited time only. The sales will be first come, first served until the material is sold.

All pieces are measured at their widest points. Slabs are lightly oiled to show their polished colors.
