Item Description
Here is a wonderful miniature size specimen of the famous pseudomorphs of copper after aragonite from Corocoro. These floater specimens are well known from Bolivia for their great form and color, and this piece has the classic and unique form that has made these pieces some of the most well known and highly sought after pseudomorphs around. The greatest aspect of this piece is that it is a not a single pseudo-hexagonal crystal, but rather a dense cluster of intergrown crystals, which is much less common for this material. The attached malachite is an excellent and colorful accent. This specimen is a very fine example of these unique pseudomorphs. There hasn't been any significant amount of these specimens on the market in approximately 25 years, and they are often only found in old collections. Enjoy. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock.
