Item Description
Cornetite is one of the most sought after copper phosphates in the world, for it's amazingly beautiful color along with notable scarcity despite it's rather simple chemistry. This striking, rich piece features exceptional botryoids with rich blue-green color, translucence and wet luster. The bruised sections of the piece really show the translucence and color saturations. If you collect this material, don't miss out on this color and eye-catching display specimen. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
