Description

Very beautiful botryoidal turquoise-colored glaucocerinite. A stalastitic aggregate 'filled' with matrix.

Only a few damaged bubbles, but I have to say the specimen is repaired. It was broken clean through the middle, but I thought it should be preserved in the whole. You just see the crack in the closeups.
