Description

Amazing sample of well developped transparent torbernite blades on both side of the sample. This quality is rare as there are only very few damages on the edge of the piece but none on the center. Ideal for a showcase !

Stabilized with some Paraloid B12

The mine is now closed for long years and no possibilities to find any now.

Old collection
