An excellent and very rich specimen of rare, translucent cuprian-powellite crystals from Chile. The beautiful dark apple-green color and wet-look luster are both superb. Excellent yellow fluorescence. An exceptional miniature for this material found only at this remote locality in a few pockets over 10 years ago. Collected by Skip Szenics and from his personal collection. Superb material.
