Item Description
Scintillating, gemmy, emerald-green, orthorhombic, libethenite microcrystals are festooned on the complimentary boxwork quartz matrix on this very showy and excellent specimen from the Type Locality - Lubietova, Slovakia. Highly representative and very rich combination material from this famous locale. The back has been sawed to enhance the display quality. Comes with an older label in German. I bought this at the Munich show, having seen similar for $750-1000 in my time. THIS IS A RICH, LARGE, SHOWY EXAMPLE and should be a very valuable addition to many collections.
