Item Description

Beautiful, bright and gemmy, teal-blue tufts of acicular crystals of the copper mineral aurichalcite, from the legendary 79 Mine in Arizona. The crystals are like little starbursts of fine needles very richly and aesthetically covering the matrix. Scintillating hemimorphite microblades on the fringe are a super accent. Classic and desirable Arizona material from a recent find.
