Item Description

A lovely and colorful miniature specimen from the Bingham area featuring vivid blue-green Spangolite with botryoidal acicular "sprays" of green Brochantite. Possible associations of Malachite and / or Rosasite might be present. Additionally, I found a small area of olive-green crystals that could be Beaverite-(Cu), but I cannot say for certain. Really cool to view under the microscope!
