Description

This specimen is from the new famous find in Browns Deposit in August 2010. Specimens have been offered for sale this year at some of the big fairs. Nothing is expected to come out anymore and presently specimens in any quality are already difficult to obtain. This is an excellent undamaged specimen from the pizza pocket. It features dark green bottroidal malachite loaded with numerous hexagonal lime green pyromorphite crystals. Highly aesthetic combination.
