Description

Very nice miniature specimen of green tabular crystals of metatorbernite which thichly coat the upper face of the sample.

Torbernite and metatorbernite samples from Kamoto are not very spread. This is because only those coming from the site's reclamation in the mid-1990s were collected by the very few people who were present on site.

Excellent specimen!
