A SUPERB, very rich, old-time specimen of glassy, emerald-green, tabular atacamite crystals to 3 mm filling multiple vugs in matrix. This fine piece comes from a much less well-known Chile locality, hence, making it more desirable - the Andacollo Copper Mine. The specimen comes with two old labels, including a CLOTH label affixed to the back. Ex Richard Hauck Collection. 6.4 x 4.7 x 3.6 cm
