An unusual specimen from modern finds of this rare copper species featuring unusually elegant, curving crystals of 1-5 mm, arranged in linked series to make curving growths on the matrix.Most crystals are intact and the largest "river" of crystals is 1.5 cm long. Gorgeous, sharp crystals reach 7 mm individually. A nice, rich specimen, previously would have been among best for China and worth thousands if a Montana example!
