Back in 2020, these Veszelyite specimens from the Palabanda Quarries made their debut and took the mineral collecting world by storm. This particular specimen is an excellent example for the species, but shown on a grander scale. All throughout this substantial piece are vivid fields of deep green-blue, flattened Veszelyite crystals with lighter teal botryoides of Hemimorphite, all of which line the interior of a vug that runs vertically through a contrasting matrix. This piece comes with a custom acrylic base.

From the collection of Daniel "Dan" R. Kennedy.

More Information: This piece is in excellent condition.
