Menilite from Camp dels Ninots, Spain

Menilite from Camp dels Ninots, Caldes de Malavella, Selva, Girona, Catalonia, Spain

Specimen pieces of Menilite from Camp dels Ninots, a Spanish locale known for the unusual material. The name roughly translates to 'camp of the puppets' or 'field of the dolls'.

Menilite is an odd form of opal which typically occurs in a white, off-white, or brown colour, and can look anthropomorphic - like odd little dolls. I would assume thats where the name of the locale comes from.
