Item Description

A now classic example of the beautiful Chrysocolla specimens from the famous Lily Mine in Peru. This miniature-sized specimen features a patch of rich turquoise blue to greenish-blue colored Chrysocolla sitting on contrasting host rock matrix. Some of the green might actually be Malachite. Although the species is well-known from the Lily Mine, they are seldom available on the market. A nice little representation from this well-known locality.
