Description:This locality is known for its unique pseudomorphs of Copper after Aragonite, but this "floater" specimen features an NON-pseudomorphed pseudo-hexagonal crystal of beige Aragonite which is associated with rarely seen bright blue Chalcophyllite crystals. Personally, I have seen only a handful of these pieces in my life, and they are MUCH more rare than the pseudomorphs of Copper after Aragonite. This specimen is a very fine example of this material. If you're a Bolivian collector, a rarities collector, or an oddities collector, don't miss out on this one, because it is the only one I have to offer at the moment.
