Description

Here is an excellent collection specimen with well-formed copper crystals covered by a thin green brochantite coating. Some of the copper crystals are blocky or dendritic in shape. The main crystal, located in the center above the specimen, has an ideal elongated structure and reaches a length of almost three centimeters. The tip of the main crystal is spear-shaped.

The specimen is perfectly formed on both the front and back. Some matrix is visible in the lower area. The specimen comes with two labels as shown.

From a find in 1958.

The specimen comes from the collection of Dr. G. Jung, who received it from D. C. Pohl.
