Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Herbertsmithite
Locality: Caracoles, Sierra Gorda District, Tocopilla Province, Antofagasta Region, Chile (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: 6.3 x 4.3 x 3.2 cm.
This very rare copper mineral is here present as beautiful sparkling crystals to about 1 mm, like broken green glass sprinkled on a white matrix! Hundreds of crystals are present and this specimen is one of the two largest and richest in the find that I saw among the material shown me at Munich 2007. This particular specimen has many very sharp, eye-visible crystals. Some damaged spots but many crystals are well-protected in crevasses. Aside from its rarity, the sheer overall impact of color and sparkle is extremely impressive!
