Description

Not your gaspeite specimen, this specimen has all the hallmarks of a good Kambalda specimen; good lime green colour and botyroidal mounds covering the display face.

What makes it very unusual is the rich coverage of crystals over about a third of the display face, personally I have only seen a few micro crystals in isolated pockets, certainly nothing like this specimen
