Description
This is a rare mineral which turns black with exposure to air (Oxydation)as can be seen here. It was all green when I aquired this piece in 1981.

one of my favorite hobbies (gems and minerals); great shot!!
Awesome macro. Beautiful colors in this. ;o)
Super close up! How interesting about the oxidation.
Love the color so beautiful.
So, what do you do to protect it from air? Did you try and wax/oil it? Spray some varnish? Anyway, awesome mineral and photo! :)
