A KILLER CABINET specimen festooned with LARGE, lustrous, emerald-green euchroite crystals from a CLASSIC locality - Libethen, Slovak Republic. Euchroite is a RARE copper arsenate and this is simply a spectacular and important specimen for this TYPE LOCALITY for the species. This is a true auction spiker. Pieces of this quality and rarity are usually confined to the rare species highlights in our Gallery site, but occasionally we let our auction customers have an opportunity for a great specimen like this if it comes to me in a large collection or a trade. Valued $1500-1800. A BEAUTIFUL large piece of an extreme rarity.
