Item Description

Rich cornflower-blue botryoidal aggregates of tiny chrysocolla crystals dramatically fill sculptural vugs in gossan matrix on this very colorful and excellent large specimen from a NEW small 2016 find at this from this well-known mine that is more famous for atacamite and gypsum specimens. Chrysocolla is rare from this small artisanally worked mine and this is a good one.
