Description

Several vugs of a sculptural, gossan matrix are filled with dark green, lustrous olivenite blades on this classic, old-time specimen from the Camborne - Redruth - St. District of Cornwall. Crystals reach more than 2 mm on this fine example. Unfortunately very hard to photograph and much better in person than the pictures indicate.
