Item Description

Here we have a classic Zambian Libethenite that features a superb, sharp, lustrous, rich forest greey crystal group, smartly perched on matrix. The species typically forms from weathered Apatite crystals, and is one of the most distinctive and beautiful colors for a mineral species. These specimens are not terribly common on the market today, and good Zambian Libethenites are always in high demand. Ex John Arnaud collection. Enjoy.
