Description

Rare, very rich pseudomalachite spray well distributed on a massive quartz specimen. The spray has a radial, lichen-like distribution over the surface and covers a broad area with pale-to-intense green color and good lustre for the specie.
Significant specimen from the type locality in Germany. Unusually spotted on the market in the recent years, it was collected in the early 70s. By far, the best I have ever handled in person.

Former collection Kasper (CH).
