Chrysocolla (RARE locality specimen) (ex Gary Weaver Collection)

Item Description

An incredibly hard to find specimen from the Angelina II Mine in Peru featuring intense blue colored aggregates and banded layers of Chrysocolla. There really isn't a lot of matrix, but there are clear transitions where the Chrysocolla takes on different forms/shapes. I love the color, and if you're a fan of rare/oddball locality specimens, this is a must have piece for any collector. From the collection of Gary Weaver of Prescott, Arizona (1944-2019). Gary was an electrical engineer who worked for many years for Hughes Aircraft in California. After retiring to Prescott, Arizona in the early 2000s, Gary rekindled his childhood love of minerals, amassing a collection of roughly 2000 specimens focusing on localities in which he and his wife had lived or visited (Mexico, Peru and the western / southwestern United States).
