Item Description
Connellite is relatively uncommon hydrated copper sulfate and this rich, large specimen is from near the Type Locality in Cornwall. Pretty blue-green crusts of connellite richly cover both sides of this showy and rare specimen from the historic Wheal Edward Mine. This is a very large and rich specimen of the species for any Cornwall locality.
