Torbernite
specimen number:
1405006
location:
Nchanga Mine, Chingola, Chingola District, Copperbelt Province, Zambia
description: Gorgeous brilliant green thin platy crystals of torbernite to 0.5 cm in size fairly rich over the front side of a 9.0 x 5.0 x 5.0 cm matrix. Not perfect, but then these never are, I think this in very good condition. Somewhat reminiscent of specimens from the old Cornish locality at Gunnislake. Collected in the late 1970s from this important copper deposit. Sits perfectly by itself for display.
Size: 9.0 x 5.0 x 5.0 cm (small-cabinet)
