Description

Unusually crystalized and mint colored halite stalactite with atacamite. The crystals are interlaced, with a bright mint colored thread along the stalactite. The faces show a very lustrous square structure. The specimen appears very cold due to the mint colored cover of the halite. Very aesthetic floater piece.  Hard to catch in a photo and much better in person.
