Gemmy and glassy, green ludlamite crystals richly fill a vug in crystallized quartz matrix on this fine specimen from the old and well-known Wheal Jane Mine of Cornwall. Exceptionally gemmy for the species and locale. Accompanied by a label in German indicating that the piece was collected in the 1980s during a brief reentry and mining for tin at Wheal Jane.
