Item Description

Conichalcite is rare from famed Tsumeb, where it was found in both the Upper and Lower Oxidized Zones. This is a rich and very fine combination miniature. Pretty bi-colored green conichalcite botryoids, to 2 mm, are festooned on the starkly contrasting, sugary, pastel-pink dolomite matrix. Rare and desirable material from the Art Soregaroli Collection.
