Item Description

A sculptural and classic 360-degree double pseudomorph with wulfenite from the famous and extinct copper mine. Numerous attached clusters of parallel-growth tabular azurite crystals with spearpoint terminations were replaced by malachite and then by rich blue-green chrysocolla. The pseudos strikingly wrap around and attach the upright brecciated goethite fragments. Scattered gemmy golden-yellow bipyramidal wulfenite crystals, to 2 mm, are a super and classic accessory to this very fine and aesthetic combination pseudomorph. Choice and rich combination material from the Charlie Key Collection.
