Description

The first time I visited the district of Lavrion in 1991, the Mine No. 6 (Exi Mine) was the first mine I went in. I remember the ancient small caves underground covered with numerous of intense heaven-blu crystals of aurichalcite. Even 2 years later, this "magnificence" was exploited. This is one of this very good specimens of . The specimen is very rich covered with aurichalcite crystal and shape is very good. Difficult to get such good specimens.
