A beautiful and showy plate richly covered with lustrous atacamite crystal pinwheels. The dark green radiating blades nicely compliment the lighter green needles and the minor bit of bruising is certainly not detracting to this very showy piece from the Type Locality region - the La Farola Mine in the Atacama Region.
