Item Description
Neon green, pseudohexagonal platelets of bayldonite richly cover the matrix plate of copper and sulfides on this exceptional combination specimen from the famous and now-closed Tsumeb Mine. The platelets sparkle and are translucent. Very seldom seen in this quality, richness and combination. Ex Howard Belsky Collection. $250 was NOT cheap in the 1970s and 80s! MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PESON!! The photos do not capture the intense color, sparkle and translucence of the crystals.
