Item Description
Scintillating, starbursts of gorgeous, gemmy, emerald-green to opaque black, acicular atacamaite crystals are strikingly set on the matrix plate and nicely accented with tiny blue-breen botryoids of either chrysocolla or pseudomalachite. This is a fine and colorful example of this copper chloride species from this well-known locale.
