Description

Very rich miniature comprised of myriads of green-blueish brochantite tuffs associated to a couple of hyalin quartz crystals. The specimen is delicate and occasionally some dust traces are visible, however I did not attempt to clean it. 
The specimen comes from the former stock and collection of Bruno Cerato (I) who passed away a couple of years ago.
