It is very difficult to find torbernites with large, bladed crystals such as these. You can see why they were called "electric green wulfenites" in jest! Though there is some damage, it is mostly on the periphery of the cluster and the core is a group of dozens of crystals to over 1 cm, with killer luster and form! The individual crystals, with fine luster and deep green color, stand out nicely throughout. This is a RICH cluster of a RARE mineral form a locale that is not producing the mineral anymore in such quality, and has not for 30 years. 7.6 x 5.6 x 4 cm
