Description

Beautiful single phosgenite crystal on matrix from Monteponi mine, a classic Sardinian locality well known for the magnificent samples of phosgenite and anglesite found here in the last century.

Access to the extraction areas, now flooded, is impossible and it has been a few decades since it is no longer possible to find new material.  

It will come on a plexi base but which is easily removable.

Excellent sample of the "gone days".
