Superb and unusual specimen featuring an interesting paler green, dendritic habit metatorbernite crystal style overgrowing darker green crystals (I assume all torbernite is actually meta). Former Henri Vandormael collection. Eric Quinter specimen U/Th 0213, pictured on Mindat.org. Photo (cropped) also in Mineralogical Record 2018 (vol 49), March-April, page 283. Fantastic!
