Item Description
You can read about this locality in an article in the Mineralogical Record from 1994. This half geode is lined with radial clusters covered with sparkly and transparent Aragonite needles and dusted with lustrous, brown botryoidal Kutnohorite. These fine pieces are from the well-known lignite mines of Levane, Tuscany, Italy. Unique material and how often does one see Kutnohorite with this kind of form and color?
