Item Description
Plancheite is a rare copper silicate. This striking and beautiful specimen is composed of radiating acicular growths with gorgeous, chatoyant, turquoise-blue color and is aesthetically accented with sparkly primary malachite microcrystals. A really nice toenail from past times of the heyday here. From a well-respected European rare species collector.
