Olivenite (old classic)

Item Description

From an old East Coast collection, this piece comes with an historic label from the legendary mineral dealer, Hugh A. Ford. Since the label has Ford's New York address it dates to 1946-1957. It was priced at $3 back in the day! It is a beautiful piece of this beloved copper arsenate featuring boytroidal groups of soft olive-green color groups measuring up to 1.3 cm across. Good quality in the center of the specimen, with minimal roughness around the periphery. A great old time classic specimen from Cornwall, and very difficult to find on market today.
