These long slender crystals have the highly desirable emerald green color and good luster that is so sought after in Brochantite. What makes this such an impressive specimen is that you rarely find crystals much beyond the mm range AND isolated from the locality (or any other, for that matter), and these are far larger, creating a wonderful thumb from one of the world’s great copper mineral localities. It is not just a great Bisbee piece, it IS a great broch thumbnail for any locale, in other words 2.3 x 2 x .8 cm
