Bright, beautiful, turquoise-blue, radial clusters of tyrolite crystals richly cover multiple sides of the contrasting matrix on this fine piece from a classic Austrian locality - Grosskogel Mountain, St. Gertraudi, Tyrol. Tyrolite is an uncommon copper arsenate and this fine piece is from near the Type Locality.
