Item Description
Spangolite is a VERY RARE and desirable copper sulfate. Sparkly, gemmy and lustrous, blue-green, spangolite microcrystals richly cover the crest of a sculptural, thin wedge of iron oxide-coated, quartz matrix. Spangolite is a signature species from Bingham, and this is a fine, highly representative piece. Ex Fred Pough and Howard Belsky Collections. Valued $250-300
