Item Description

Turquoise-blue chrysocolla has pseudomorphed an aesthetic parallel-growth cluster of terminated azurite crystals on this aesthetic specimen from the Ray Mine area. Classic material. Complete all-around. The bruised tip to the small pseudo in the front is certainly only a modest detraction. In fact, it reveals the hollow tube, where the precipitating replacement fluids flowed. Nifty. Specimens of this quality are not that common.
