This specimen has a nice green color and bright luster. The terminations are a little rough but are still compete with no noticeable damage. The piece is contacted on the bottom. Specimen comes with a rare label from the Peter Zodac collection (he founded Rocks and Minerals magazine in the 1920s). 5.3 x 3.2 x 1.7 cm
