- 5.4 by 4.4 by 4.2 cm – Miniature specimen (fits into a 5 cm cube)
This is a confused matrix of chrysocolla, limonite, malachite and quartz, which hosts a sharp, dark green clinoatacamite crystal 6 mm across. Unlike other specimens in this lot, the crystal is lifted above all others, and shows a pronounced pseudo-cubic habit. Excellent example for this 'best of species' occurrence.
