Description

Mint colored halite with atacamite from the Lubin Mine. The faces are high gloss with very intense square structure. The cubes are translucent with green coloring by atacamite. Because of the mint color covered of the halite the specimen appears very cold. Perfect crystalized all around, only the bottom was extracted from the rock. A very interesting assembly, hard to photograph, much better in person.
