Item Description

A cool association specimen from this fairly obscure Copper mine in the Congo featuring needles of light green Brochantite with forest green color Malachite and emerald green color Gerhardite on gossan matrix. Hard to find on the market, and certainly would make for a worthwhile addition to any secondary ore mineral collection.
