Item Description

Artistic pretty robins egg-blue, bubbly, nubby chrysocolla botryoids with a light oxide tinting fill a very sculptural two-sided vug on this RARE and colorful example from a very obscure NEW FIND in Peru. Sparkly, gemmy, emerald-green chrysocolla or malachite coats part of the vug on the back side, adding color and character. We bought all we could, down in Peru.
