Description

Superb and large specimen of the type locality Serpierite on solid white marble matrix. This is most likely the best quality of Serpierite ever found, and it is all on this specimen, elongated aerial tubular formations covered and consisting totally of thick colorful Serpierite sparkling microcrystals. Large clear and lustrous Gypsum crystals covered, included and over thick Serpierite crystals create an amazing composition. It is clearly visible with this incredible specimen that the vein of Serpierite was very narrow, in between large marble structures. Minor Malachite crystals association contrasting beautifully with the dense and rich Serpierite crystals.
