Item Description

Very fine, exposed pocket whose open nature offers an excellent view of the lovely crayola-crayon-blue Shattuckite. The luster is excellent, because of a thin coating of microscopic quartz druse covering the shattuckite, making the Shattuckite sparkle like a new field of clean blue snow. This 5 cm pocket is accented by highly lustrous primary malachite at the edges. A very attractive specimen.
