A superb specimen, with velvety, acicular brochantite crystals bursting in rounded forms all over the specimens. This example has gorgeous color and richness of these velvety crystal bursts, but also because the crystal mass is set almost perfectly, even standing off of, the background matrix. From the find of around 1988 or so.
