Description

You are bidding on a small sample with three tiny plates of metatorbernite on matrix from the Foote Mine. This is actually one of the rarest species from the locality and very few samples are known. From my personal Foote Mine collection and obtained from the late Walter Ollis, who found the only samples in 1973.
