This is a gorgeous cluster of radiating metallic green brochantite crystals with a stunning, isolated, 3 cm crystal in the middle. It comes from a single shocking discovery (circa 2014-15) of what are now considered the world's finest examples of this species, for size and quality! Laszlo Kupi photo (shown horizontal for safety of display, as we would not put it in a base; but it could obviously be tilted up to display with the central crystal vertical once in a collection). NOTE: cannot be shipped unless willing to risk a few crystals coming off (probably to no overall effect). We prefer hand delivery only.
