Vug coated with very attractive botryoidal to drusy cuprian Powellite, from the same famous locality as the discovery of Szenicsite. The grass-green Powellite is both gemmy and lustrous, and makes for rather an aesthetic specimen. The cuprian Powellite is completely different than the Powellites from India, so are an important addition to the collection. UNIQUE material all obtained from the discoverer, Terry Szenics.
