Item Description

A classic and excellent combination of shattuckite, primary malachite and smoky quartz from famous Kaokoveld. The pretty blue shattuckite botryoids comprise the main pocket, and as is sometimes seen, it is coated by water-clear quartz. Well-placed in the pocket is a 1.3 cm spray of primary malachite needles. This particular combination is highly sought after for its beauty and rarity. There are more shattuckite vugs on the back. Very aesthetic.
