In the mid-1990s beautiful, combination specimens of atacamite in gypsum were available from the lily mine. This is a fine example where the dark green atacamite is included in transparent, colorless crystals of gypsum, which measure up to 2.5 cm in length. Super aesthetics and a very showy specimen overall!
