Solid mass of thick, deep forest green Brochantite crystals that formed in a thin seam. Most crystals are contacted but there are terminated crystals too, regardless these are exceptional crystal for the species due to their thickness and size. These are thick, robust crystals from a 2014 find and are much different in style than earlier finds from the mine which were usually more fragile, hair-like crystals. These are the world's best Brochantites and may not be available much longer. Valued at around $100.
