Item Description
A fine, tightly clustered thumbnail group of crystals from one of the oldest localities for the species, in Cornwall. These were saved by miners who valued beauty, even as the ore fueled the industrial revolution of England. Cornwall is one of those great old ( 150+ years) localities that always have a sophisticated air and allure to them because they are IMPORTANT in the context of world history. This Torbernite is classic, with its great, almost iridescent green color and equally dazzling pearly luster. “Gunnies” of this quality are rare and much in demand. From the award-winning thumbnail collection of Sharon and William Panczner, author of the book Minerals Of Mexico, and last seen and exhibited in the 1960s and recently rediscovered.
