Mineral background
Fornacite is best approached as a collector mineral rather than a generic decorative crystal. The important details are the confirmed mineral identity, locality, crystal habit, associations on the matrix and the condition shown in close photographs.
How to compare Fornacite specimens
Look for green to brown microcrystalline collector mineral. A strong specimen normally shows its main crystal habit clearly from more than one angle.
Value notes
Small pieces can still be valuable when locality and crystal detail are good.
Care and handling
Specialist lead/arsenate mineral: avoid dust, keep dry and wash hands after handling.
