Item Description

Bright turquoise-blue Chrysocolla coasted with sparkly, gemmy Quartz make these unique multihued copper mine specimens desirable across all fields and niches of mineral and decor collecting. They are simply gorgeous specimens! Associated is an outrageously good, 2.3 cm sphere of Chrysocolla coated with a thin layer of deep-green Malachite….. An older specimen from the 1980s or before, out of the Frank Levy collection. George Elling bought that collection, paying $5000 for this years ago. Valued $7500-plus. A significant large decorator speciment that is ALSO a fine mineral specimen for what it is. ex George Elling Collection.
