Description

A nicely terminated brochantite thumbnail. Unlike the more common, super-fibrous growth habit of brochantite, this habit is quite stable.
Shows transparency under direct light.
Peripheral damage throughout the piece, but most if not all appears to be pocket contact, illustrating just how thin the seams in which these specimens originate truly were!
