Item Description
Velvety cornflower blue shattuckite balls up to 8 mm beautifully line the sculptural vug in sturdy gossan matris on this very showy and excellent specimen. Quite revealing are the few broken balls, which reveal the gorgeous, multi-hued, teal-blue, acicular, radial crystals of the botryoids. For this particular shattuckite varietal, this is about the finest we have offered at auction. Very aesthetic and colorful. Choice material from the Charlie Key dealer stock. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
