Description

Metatorbernite
Margabal Mine, Entraygues-sur-Truyère, Rodez, Aveyron, Occitanie, France
11.2 x 4.7 x 4.3 cm (4.41 x 1.85 x 1.69 in)

A magnificent French classic that showcases rich, deep green Metatorbernite crystals throughout, enhanced by a light chatoyant sheen that plays beautifully across the tetragonal blades and sheaf-like aggregates. All throughout, this piece has outstanding en echelon growth forming multiple stalactitic projections-some reaching up to 5.4 cm-that rise above or bridge across the main crystalline mass.

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

More Information: This piece is in great condition with minor bruising on the right and back sides.
