Excellent specimen, very representative for the species. This sample shows a very sharp pseudocubic crystal with typical stepped growths. Really good color and brilliance. There is a second crystal on the back side, smaller than the main one, but also with the same high quality.
The specimen is from the James Catmur collection and we’ll send the label with it. This specimen was analyzed many years ago, but we didn’t keep analysis documents, that is why we could confirm the species but we can’t send the analysis to the buyer.
This specimen was photographed for the ‘Sainte-Marie Show 2008’ section of the magazine ‘Minéraux et Fossiles’ and appears on page 22 of number 373, as well as on the Hors-série nº 27 "Minéraux du Cuivre" on page 65.
