Item Description

Gorgeous, juicy, waxy luster, multi-hued and multi-layered, bubbly chrysocolla botryoids line the sculptural large vug and numerous smaller vugs on the matrix on this very rich and excellent piece. The bright and rich sky-blue outer layer predominates with underlying layers of teal-green and green peering out and adding contrast. A very colorful and dramatic chrysocolla specimen from a recent 2016 find at a very obscure Peruvian locale.
