Item Description
A beautiful display piece from Inca de Oro featuring spherical aggregates of bright blue Chrysocolla which are intermixed with eye-catching green Malachite and then coated by white "sugary" Quartz to create a unique effect. This material is unique to this area as far as I know, and the bet pieces certainly grab one's attention.
