Historical sample, that was found in the '80s!
The surface is sprinkled with globular aggregates formed by small hyaline quartz crystals.
Three malachite aggregate with a strong green color are placed over the quartz.
An azur aggregate of chrysocolla is visible too.
Typical of this locality on the island of Giglio where it has been absolutely forbidden to carry out new research for some time.
