This very rare copper mineral is here present as beautiful sparkling crystals to about 1 mm, like broken green glass sprinkled on a white matrix! Hundreds of crystals are present and this specimen is one of the two largest and richest in the find, that I saw among the material shown me at Munich 2007. This particular specimen has many very sharp, eye-visible crystals. Some damaged spots but many crystals are well-protected in crevasses. Aside from its rarity, the sheer overall impact of color and sparkle is extremely impressive! MUCH BETTER In PERSON!
