Mineral background
Torbernite 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 Torbernite specimens
Look for green square tabular crystals on matrix. A strong specimen normally shows its main crystal habit clearly from more than one angle.
Value notes
Only suitable for informed collectors; locality, crystal coverage and safety labelling matter.
Care and handling
Radioactive uranium mineral: keep boxed, dry, labelled, and limit handling. Wash hands after handling.
