Item Description

First-class combination piece with Shattuckite, Primary Malachite, and Quartz from the famous mines of Kaokoveld. There are about a dozen individual balls of Shattuckite, and each one is coated with a sparkly, drusy Quartz, creating very attractive blue snowballs. Associated in this pocket is a fantastic spray of Primary Malachite. The Malachite crystals have superb luster, deep green color, and they range up to 3 cm in length. The geometry of the pocket is very interesting, and the two minerals complement each other nicely without competing. Overall, super aesthetics for this highly desired combination.
