Item Description
Connellite is an uncommon hydrated copper sulfate and this rich piece is from an ancient Cornwall tin and copper mine. This is a sculptural, very showy, solid, three-sided, lightweight banded crust of connellite with some contrasting green chrysocolla. Seldom available in this richness and quality from this locale. Undoubtably old-time material. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection.
