Item Description

A classic old Cornish Olivenite from the famed Wheal Gorland in Cornwall featuring micro crystals of olive-green colored Olivenite on matrix A good portion of the display side of the piece is filled with tiny needles in semi-radial sprays. The crystals are quite small, so we've photographed them up close to convey their quality. You don't see many of these pieces on the market anymore, and this specimen was found near the type locality for Olivenite, which is also in Gwennap.
From the collection of Colin Manlove.
