A classic specimen of vuggy, massive sulfide RICHLY covered with lustrous, emerald-green atacamite blades to 5 mm and sparkly atacamite micro crystals from Chile. The two, old labels state the locality as Cobija, Chile, but I believe the piece is from Copiapo, Chile. Ex Richard Hauck Collection. 6.5 x 4.4 x 3.4 cm
