Item Description

A great copper silicate association specimen featuring a great coverage of beautiful silvery-blue, radiating, velvety Shattuckite coating a pale blue-green layer of Chrysocolla with minor emerald green Dioptase on the upper portion of the piece. The matrix appears to be just Quartz, and you can see a distinct hexagonal prism of Quartz in the center of the specimen. If you're a collector of this material, don't miss out on this eye-catching, displayable, full-sized miniature. Valued at $600 retail.
