Description
This colourful specimen features beautiful crusts of neon green Zaratite from the Turkish locality Guleman Mine of Alacakaya. Tiny botryoids and smatterings of almost forest-green Zaratite cover much of the display surface of this piece. Zaratite is a rare nickel carbonate hydrate found as a secondary alteration product of ores containing nickel. This is a rich locality example of this rare species with intense green, micro-botryoids coating the main fracture surface along with other surfaces on the piece of chromite ore. A super specimen.
