Item Description
Sparkly, robins egg-blue, connellite microcrystals RICHLY cover all five sides (including the bottom) of the sculptural, 3-dimensional wedge of quartz-rich matrix on this very showy and excellent specimen from the less well-known Lovelock Mine of Nevada. Connellite is a relatively uncommon copper secondary mineral and this is an extremely rich and very highly representative specimen of the species and locale.
