Item Description

A gorgeous combination plate from the famous Morenci Mine. Gemmy, sharp, turquoise-blue, chrysocolla crystals in bubbly aggregates totally cover banded, botryoidal malachite, that is only visible on the edges. A small cluster of glassy calcite rhombs is a nice accent and part of the matrix is botryoidal tenorite. Extremely colorful, older material from the Consie Prince Collection.
