Item Description
Scintilliating, radiating clusters of gemmy, emerald-green, brochantite needles are complimented with a rich band of lustrous, royal-blue linarite crystals on this very colorful and sculptural, LARGE CABINET specimen from Morocco. The periphery wear is noted, but this remains an extremely rich, very showy, large and highly representative specimen of the species and locality. From the 2003 find. Ex Tarnowski Collection. One of the largest and best examples of this material I have seen, valued highly!
