Shattuckite

Item Description

Shattuckite normally occurs as crusts of intergrown small crystals, or as inclusions in other minerals, and usually just as "matrix" rock rather than anything we would describe as a real crystal or shape of its own. This, however, is something unusual! It is an aesthetic light blue hemispherical growth with uniform silky lustrous crystals grown together, radiating from a common core to form half of a botryoidal ball that is actually crystallized inside. Unusual!
