The spectacular, iridescent, magenta and neon-blue color and luster give this vein of foliated covellite crystals sandwiched between matrix an other-worldly appearance. The largest crystal measures 4.0 cm across. Outstanding, very uncommon, two-sided material from Serbia. This covellite specimen compares favorably with the best from Butte, Montana or Summitville, Colorado. Ex. Tarnowski Collection.
