Atacamite Specimen - 165g

$65.00

Rare Atacamite Specimen – Mined-Out Classic from La Farola Mine, Chile

This beautiful and rare Atacamite specimen hails from the now-depleted La Farola Mine in the Cerro Pintado area of the Las Pintadas District, within the Atacama Region of Chile. Renowned for producing some of the world’s most vibrant, deep-green, and highly crystallized Atacamite, this locality is no longer in operation—making specimens from this mine increasingly hard to find and highly sought after by collectors.

Key Features of Atacamite Specimen

  • Origin: La Farola Mine, Cerro Pintado, Las Pintadas District, Atacama Region, Chile

  • Rarity: Sourced from a mined-out locality—no longer producing specimens

  • Crystal Quality: Sharp, lustrous Atacamite crystals with rich emerald-green coloration

  • Display Appeal: Excellent contrast and vibrant luster—ideal for display cases or museum-quality collections

  • Collector Value: A significant and desirable piece from a classic, historic South American location

This Atacamite specimen is more than just visually striking—it’s a true mineral classic. With its intense color, defined crystal structure, and rare origin, this piece embodies the beauty and scarcity that top collectors seek. As the La Farola Mine is no longer active, each remaining specimen becomes more valuable over time.
