Item Description
A striking, colorful and rare, two-sided combination specimen from this obscure Nevada copper mine. Vivid, lustrous, turquoise-blue, melted-look, botryoidal chrysocolla covers the bottom of the front and grades upward to a more muted, bubbly, botryoidal chrysocolla. A rich field of green pseudomalachite covers the top of the matrix. The back scintillates with a rich covering of dark forest-green brochantite crystals over the chrysocolla. A rare, very fine and showy example of the species and locale and seldom available. Ex Wes Parker Collection.
