Description

Olive green embolite - a synonym for bromian chlorargyrite - in an uncommon 3-dimensional, coral-like shape on matrix. Accompanied by white cerussite crystals.

Specimens like this are very rare and hard to get, I have sold a few similar ones in 2008/09 and this is the first one I can offer since then. Originally from old Dr. Krantz stock, then in the collection of Rolf Heeren for a decade.

Comes with Heeren label and a beautiful antique "South Australian Museum" label.
