Description

Botallackite needles cover most of the surfaces of the matrix specimen from this classic UK locale. Needles are green and very lustrous, creating a nice 'glitter' effect when direct sunlight hits them.
In good conditions, this specimen comes from a famous find a few years ago. Rich botallackite specimens are pretty scarse on the market. The specimen comes with two labes from the dealers that have sold the specimen. Delicate specimen, a few crystals are expected to fall off during shipping, although I will pack it carefully.
