Item Description
A wonderful thumbnail specimen of beautiful Chalcoalumite. It was found in the mid 1960's in the Grandview mine, which existed in the Grand Canyon. The mine is long defunct, but when specimens were being recovered, they were some of the most incredible, and brightly colored specimens from Arizona, or anywhere else for that matter. This specimen hosts a patch of stunning bright sky blue botryoidal Chalcoalumite on matrix. You can see that we've provided some great micro photos of what these crystals look like up close. Please note that there have been almost NO specimens from this locality available on the market for a very long time. This is a very rare opportunity to own a unique and attractive species from one of the more interesting localities in the United States.
