Item Description
A wonderful specimen of the classic Pseudoamalachites from Obererl (Ehl). We have photographed this specimen with a Canon MP-E 65 mm macro lens to better illustrate the quality. If you look closely, there are some beautiful tiny aggregates on this piece. A great rarity for any species collector, or a collector of German minerals. Apparently this material was actually called Ehlite after the locality. Ex Kay Robertson Collection (#2479). Kay is a prominent California collector, who specialized in European classics (see the article in the March-April, 2007 Mineralogical Record and the 50+ page article in the German Magazine "Mineralien Welt" November-December 2017).
