Thick dark green Libethenite crystal in vug on matrix. This is an outstanding and robust crystal for the species measuring 1.5cm tall. Crystals from this mine are considered best of species and the locality is now closed. This was collected by Stan Korowski in 1974 and formerly in the Marvin Pearce collection. I acquired it in the 1990s and the label it came with indicates it was valued at $550 back in 1994.
