Item Description
Three, sharp, lustrous, dark green, parallel-growth libethenite crystals to 1.0 cm are adorably set in a protective matrix cleft on this very fine example from this well-known Zambian mine. A 1975 discovery yielded the largest and finest libethenite crystals ever found (MINDAT). Choice material from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. Valued by Herb at $450, more than five years ago. It is worth more today.
