Item Description
Two generations of brochantite totally encrust this sculptural, vuggy specimen from the famous Grandview Mine. Darker green crystals are sparkly and translucent, while the lighter green crystals have a matte finish. Two varieties of brochantite, all in one piece! The Grandview Mine is in the Grand Canyon National Park and you cannot collect from there today. The last production from this mine was in 1916. Excellent, highly representative material.
