Description

Rich miniature featuring tufts of apple green agardite needles in the limonite-calcite matrix from this classic Sardinian locality.
The mine is long defunct and specimens of agardite from there, notoriously rare, are usually retrievable only via older collections.

This very specimen comes from my personal collection and it dates back to the early 2000s.
