Item Description
Paratacamite is a relatively uncommon secondary copper chloride, found in especially arid climates. Scintillating forest-green and light green paratacamite microcrystals richly cover the oxidized CABINET rhyolite matrix on this showy and excellent specimen collected by Terry Scenics from near the co-type localities in Chile. Uncommon in this richness.
