Item Description

There are several localities in Arizona where Atacamite has been found, but this piece came labeled as coming from the Buckskin Mountains in western Arizona, and is the first of its kind that I've seen. Sharp, lustrous, dark emerald green and mint green colored crystals of Atacamite are sitting on white bladed Barite(?) on host rock matrix. A really unusual oddball locality specimen that would be a must have for any completionist Arizona collector or a fan of secondary ore minerals.
