Item Description
This rich and very showy specimen of cornetite features absolutely scinitillating, two-toned blued, microcrystals accented with just a bit of malachite. Cornetites are the rarities amongst the copper minerals from Congo. They never come out in quantity, and are quickly snapped up when they do appear. A specimen such as this typically retails for around $200. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
