Description

Excellent, very rare locality specimen featuring emerald-green metatorbernite nestled in between zoned quartz crystals on massive quartz from West Wheal Jewel, Cornwall, UK. Specimens of any quality are virtually non-existent from this locality, and this happens to be a very nice, aesthetic example. From the noted collection of Eric Quinter (1947-2024), one of the best private collections of uranium minerals in the United States!
