Item Description
This rich and very showy plate of cornetite features absolutely scinitillating, two-toned blued, microcrystals accented with patches of botryoidal malachite. Cornetites are the rarities amongst the copper minerals from Congo. They never come out in quantity, and are quickly snapped up when they do appear. A specimen such as this typically retails for around $250-300. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
