Item Description
Intensely sparkly, pretty variable teal-blue cornetite bubbly botryoids cover the top and microcrystals cover the sides of the large matrix wedge on this rich and showy large specimen from the famous Type Locality. The stringers and patches of primary malachite crystals are a fine accent to this excellent example of this rare anhydrous copper phosphate. The piece displays well without aid.
