Description

An array of clean Chalcophyllite crystals showing the classic hexagonal tabular habit and green colour is well exposed on matrix.

From an old stash of specimens belonging to a finding dating back to the 90's at this mine and never repeated since.

Probably not at the level of the british specimens, but an excellent sample for sardinian and italian mineralogy!
