Item Description
A classic Clinoclase specimen from the famous Hornu Bartolomej Mine. This old is now closed, but in its day produced some very attractive secondary copper minerals, which can still be collected along the dumps I'm told. The specimen hosts beautiful deep blue, sparkling crystal aggregates of Clinoclase up to a few mm with Cornwallite and Strashimirite on matrix. A great reference specimen of this well known material from Slovakia.
