Meteorite, zoned green gypsum with paratacamite inclusions, from the Rudna Mine in Lower Silesia, Poland.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A rare and aesthetic, cabinet-sized specimen of green gypsum with paratacamite inclusions, from a notable 2024 find in the Rudna Mine, Lower Silesia, Poland.

The specimen features large, well-terminated crystals exhibiting distinct green zoning, excellent luster, and sharp transparency. The vibrant hue is caused by internal inclusions of paratacamite, giving this gypsum a unique and striking appearance rarely encountered.

This is a highly collectible and quite fragile example of this remarkable variety, originating from one of Poland's most significant copper mines. A substantial and visually impressive piece, it represents a fine and desirable addition to any advanced mineral collection.
