Item Description
Recent finds of brochantite from this mine, now famous for superb azurite and malachite specimens, have been considered the worlds finest. Large, lustrous, acicular crystals to 1.5 cm line vugs on the sides of this 100% brochantite specimen. Not many were found and this is an excellent small cabinet with stout crystals. Most specimens had smaller, needle-like crystals, rather than the larger crystals, like this. VERY RICH!
