A novelty at Munich 2013. Parallel aggregates of very well defined Clinoatacamite crystals. They are large- sized for the species, platy and have rounded contours. Furthermore, the crystals, on matrix, are extraordinarily bright, with a very deep green color and are partially coated by small Gypsum crystals. A sample out of the ordinary, worthy of being in the best collections.
The specimen has been reviewed, photographed and published as a new discovery in the magazine ‘Mineral Up’ on page 47 in number 2014/1
