Description

A very interesting specimen of globular chalcantite with crystallized parts. This piece was found more than 20 years ago, but it may be unique from this little-known deposit in the province of Cantabria. It has been in my private collection ever since, and it appears to be completely stable, as the piece hasn't changed in all this time. So here we are offering another Spanish classic.
