Numerous vugs, up to 3.3 cm long, are filled with dark green, lustrous olivenite blades on both sides of the sculptural, gossan matrix on this classic, old-time specimen from the Camborne - Redruth - St. District of Cornwall. Crystals reach 3-4 mm on this fine specimen. The two, adjacent vugs on the one side are striking, with their rich fill and sparkle.
