Item Description

A dramatic and very colorful chrysocolla specimen from a NEW FIND at a very obscure Peruvian locale. Gorgeous, juicy, waxy luster, multi-hued and multi-layered, bubbly chrysocolla botryoids with nubby surfaces cover the matrix on this excellent piece. The bright and rich sky-blue outer layer predominates with underlying layers of teal-green and green peering out and adding contrast. Colorful and rare banded chrysocolla from this new find! We bought all we could, down in Peru.
