This Libethenite Mineral Specimen is a true rarity for collectors. Recognised by its deep forest-green to blackish-green crystal formations, Libethenite is a secondary copper phosphate mineral known for its lustrous microcrystals and scarcity on the open market.

Originally discovered in Ľubietová (formerly Libethen), Slovakia, Libethenite has since been unearthed only in select localities worldwide. Its unique orthorhombic structure and compact crystal habit make it a standout in any mineral collection, particularly for those focused on copper-based minerals or micromount specimens.

Highly sought after due to limited global availability, we currently have only 8 Libethenite specimens in stock, each individually selected for colour, formation and integrity. These pieces are perfect for display or academic mineral study, showcasing the natural complexity and aesthetic appeal of this exceptional mineral.
