Item Description

A very complex and appealing combination piece of beautiful blue Shattuckite (in both pocket velvety coatings and in more robust complete sphere forms) complemented nicely by vivid green drusy Malachite. Look at the photos - it looks like 3 different pieces from 3 different sides! The velvety Shattuckite pocket is 3 x 2 cm, while the spheres range up to 1.6 cm across on other parts of the specimen. Very aesthetic, and these complete spheres are quite rare, so its a good combination of beauty and interest. Valued $1250
