Item Description

Chrysocolla and quartz are relatively uncommon from this well-known mine that is more famous for atacamite and gypsum specimens. Beautiful robins egg-blue chrysocolla is richly infused in sparkly spherical aggregates of drusy quartz, that richly line the sculptural vug. An exceptional, rare and colorful combination of the species that is/was classic for this small artisanally worked mine.
