Description

Fantastic small cabinet of a really rare species!Conichalcite seems to appear often but the quantities are really less than any most famous finds and soon it will be super difficult to find one,except if a new find appears!This piece has glittering micro spheres of deep green color with even translucency on matrix of limonite and quartz and what seems to be cuprite-the black portion of the specimen!The overall effect is aeshetic as hell and the relief offers a three dimensional piece that makes it hard for you to display!No damage areas!
