Description

What you see here is one of a kind: The combination of these 3 minerals, among other secondaries, is highly attractive. The item was found in an old unnamed copper mine. The guys, who found them in a small cavity zone, extracted all of them. The item is in very good condition and very clean of damage. Have a look at the close-up and you will see that there is much more to discover. There is no better material to expect.
