Item Description

Cornubite is an uncommon copper arsenate. This showy combination specimen is from the famous classic, old French locality - the Cap Garonne Mine in Provence. The old mine is now a museum. Bright, apple-green, cornubite botryoids and pretty blue azurite or perhaps connelite are surrounded by sparkly, olive-green, olivenite microprisms. Excellent combination material from this historic locale, and the Wes Parker Collecton.
