Numerous deep green crystals of Olivenite scattered across a gossan matrix from the famous Majuba Hill Mine in Nevada. Olivenite is a copper arsenate mineral and one of the species people risked their lived for going into this old mine. I've personally collected Olivenite in the Copper Stope, closely hugging the walls as an occasional rock droped from the roof! Crystals are present on both sides of specimen. Ex. Len Pisciotta collection and likely collected by Len.
