ED97AE3: A novelty at Munich 2016. Until now a poorly known mine, the Brochantite forms sprays of finely acicular crystals with an intense silky luster and a very vivid color. They are with darker small Atacamite crystals and are on a Quartz (variety chalcedony) matrix coated by botryoidal Chrysocolla growths. Very aesthetic for the contrast of the Brochantite with the Chrysocolla.
