Description

On the two faces of a thick layer apple-green crystalline gaspeite are scattered  many emerald green clusters rich of sharp gillardite glassy crystals. Gillardite is a very rare mineral reported in two other localities in the world but such beautiful crystals have only been found here, in its type locality.  My better specimen!

The little material left from the original mining working was completely removed a few decades ago and it is now unusual to find noteworthy specimens.
