AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Aragonite – Kamariza, Lavrion, Athens, Attica, Greece

Rare specimen with spearhead-shaped, bluish aragonite. Under the influence of copper minerals, the aragonite sometimes takes on a bluish coloration. On the matrix of this 7.7 cm x 6.7 cm specimen one can partially find malachite. In the mining area of Lavrion south of Athens, lead and silver ores were already recovered 5,000 years ago. Today the tunnels may no longer be entered.
