Exremelly good quality of conichalcite from the small find two years ago!Two finds made Lavrion the best locality in the world for the species!This piece is covered on both sides with super lustrous aggregates of intensive green vivid color!On one side there is a darker area that I'm told it contains cuprite!The piece has great aesthetics and color contrast!If I see well,there are acicular crystals that seem to agardite.Please note that the piece may lose small crystals during shipping
