Item Description

Very good specimen of rare Cuprian-Powellite, which was identified during analysis of the Szenicsite associations from this remote mine in the 1990s by Terry Szenics. The beautiful dark apple-green color and the luster are both eye-catching, and the flat-lying crystals average about .3 cm in size. Good green fluorescence. An exceptional miniature for this material found only at this remote locality in a few pockets over 15 years ago.
