Description
Here we have a wonderful Brochantite specimen from famous Italian locality Calamita Mine of Elba Island. When I mention the name of this great locale to Karin I always have to smile when she tells me the story of her Easter holidays as a young girl with her parents. They entered the quarry,- of course illegally,- and they had to jump behind the large rocks to hide, when the mining police came around the corner. Anyway, this is a superfine piece with excellent, acicular, intense green crystals on Quartz-bearing matrix. Great aesthetics and meanwhile rare and classic material.
