Description

Wow, what a piece. It is rare, nowadays, that you see such rich and well crystallized specimens from this famous locale. I worked there so often over the years and the result was mostly a few chunks with small vugs. But here you see a fine and colourful piece with a display side almost completely lined with finest apple-green Annabergite crystals. They are of course sharp edged, transparent and highly lustrous. Only minor imperfection on this super piece.
