Description

Rare, very rich matrix specimen with well-distributed pseudomalachite within a massive quartz specimen. Two sides have been sawn cut to highlight the radial, lichen-like distribution. Intense green color and good lustre for the specie.
Significant specimen from this German locality. Unusually spotted on the market in the recent years, it was collected in the early 90s. Among the best I have ever handled in person.
