Item Description

Yes, this is a NATURAL specimen of chrysocolla! The dramatic vug is filled with bubbyl, botryoidal chrysocolla, that looks like molten plastic, and is an intense, deep robins-egg blue. For color and uniqueness, this represents one of the most unusual new finds of the past couple of years! Emerald-green, gemmy, malachite microcrytals and lustrous botryoids of black heterogenite are a nifty accent at the base of the vug. Uncommon and incredibly colorful combination material from this locale.
