One more piece of the newly discovered species named in honor of professor Katerinopoulos! The specimens are known to have antlerite, brochantite, goslarite,ktenasite, epsomite,gypsum, niedermayrite, lazaridisite, melanterite and voudourisite as paragenesis to the new species! This is a large piece, with only few of those coming out due to the nature of the rockIt possibly displays all or most of the rare species and it's even super aesthetic with colors that give great contrast abd would be a great piece even not having so many rarities in presence!Both sides look great and there is not area of scratches!.Please consider the find was very small.
