Item Description
Tyrolite is an uncommon secondary copper arsenate found in the oxidized zone of copper deposits. Radial sprays of lustrous, very pretty turquoise-blue tyrolite lathes richly and attractively cover the matrix plate on this very showy and highly representative specimen from a historic and long-extinct Utah locale - the Centennial Eureka Mine, Tintic District. Very rich and highly representative of the species and locale.
