- 4.3 by 3.9 by 2.1 cm – Miniature specimen (fits into a 5 cm cube)
This specimen hosts a tight aggregate of rhombohedral crystals 1.2 cm across. One corner of a crystal has microchipping, but it can be displayed to hide this issue. A choice example of cloinoatacamite and an easy justificatoin for the status of 'best of species' occurrence for clinoatacamite. The matrix consists of calcite, chrysocolla, and quartz and certainly provides good contrast ot the dark green crystals.
