Item Description

A dramatic, excellent and RARE combination from recent finds at this well-known mine. Five spherical aggregates of dark green bladed clinoatacamite, to 6 mm, are aesthetically set in a sculptural, colorful vug lined with scintillating, powder-blue, chrysocolla-infused drusy quartz. Three of the balls are separated by glassy gypsum blades. The matrix is VERY RARE for the locale, blocky calcite. An oustanding and rare combination from this locale.
