Description:Here is a wonderful toenail size specimen of the famous pseudomorphs of Copper after Aragonite from Corocoro. These floater specimens are well known from Bolivia for their great form and color, and this piece has the classic and unique pseudohexagonal shape that has made these pieces some of the most well known and highly sought after pseudomorphs around. This piece is amazingly SHARP for the material, and is top notch for quality compared to 99% of the pieces from this are that I've handled. Perhaps the most desirable aspect of this particular piece is the fact that it features TWO aesthetically intergrown crystals, and not single a single floater, which is uncommon in my experience. There hasn't been any significant amount of these specimens on the market in approximately 25 years, and they are often only found in old collections.
