Item Description

Brilliant rich green sprays of tiny gemmy acicular brochantite crystals are richly festooned on the large, sculptural contrasting brown botryoidal limonite matrix. This exceptionally rare, large, excellent and very rich piece is from late 1970s finds at this less well-known Chile open pit copper mine. An outstanding large example from the locale valued by the former dealer at $750.
