Bright Green Powellite

Bright Green Powellite from Jardinera No. 1 Mine, Inca de Oro, Chanaral Province, Atacama Region, Chile

Collection

Robert Lavinsky

Description

This is a very rare large specimen of a new varietal of Powellite that was identified during analysis of the Szenicsite associations from this remote mine, only found in the 1990s by Terry Szenics. This specimen has some peripheral contacts, but the main display area is pristine and the display face is very large and colorful overall. Apparently no more of this material has been found since the 1990s. Ex. Charlie Key.
