Description

A beautiful, colourful specimen, this is a bed of sparkling quartz crystals overgrowing aqua-blue chrysocolla and dark green malachite. The quartz crystals are sharp and lustrous. In excellent condition, a couple of minor chips. A really nice, aesthetic piece with great colour.

The Lily Mine has ceased operations and I am told that any future re-opening and production is seen as highly unlikely.
