Description

This is one of the very best examples of this rare locality that I have seen, with dark green and sub-chatoyant lustrous Malachite thick botryoids on a crazy matrix consisting of thick, massive and very large Cerussite crystals. Beautiful and well formed typical reticulated twins can be seen on the top side of the specimen, and large Cerussite blades cover the central part. This is huge for the locale and it makes for a stunning mineral specimen. This is an old classics from the 1960s
