Halite with Paratacamite inclusions

Item Description

I would like to point out that we acquired this piece from a dealer with a label stating that it is Halite with inclusions of Paratacamite, which are responsible for the gorgeous green color. With that said, I have seen green Halite specimens from Poland in the past which get their color from Atacamite ( https://www.mindat.org/photo-814755.html ), and I can say that I found a report online which states Łukasz Kruszewski confirmed Paratacamite via PXRD analysis from the R-IX shaft in Polkowice County in 2018, so it's quite possible that this piece does contain Paratacamite. The color is so alluring in person, it doesn't come through in the video as well as it does when you hold it in your hand. I can best describe it as a medium emerald green, which is slightly muted due to the fact that it's slightly diffused inside of the colorless Halite cubes. The Halites are lustrous, sharp, well-formed and gemmy, and the piece looks good from multiple side. The piece sits and displays wonderfully as you can see, and would make a fantastic addition to any collection of halides, minerals with inclusions or specimens from Europe/Poland.
