Scintillating, gemmy, sea-green aurichalcite needles richly line a very scupltural vug in quartz-rich matrix on this striking and excellent specimen from a much les well-known mine in Chile - the Dos Adriana in Copiapo Province. These are some of the glassiest and brightest aurichalcite needles I have seen from any locality. Excellent material.
