Copper ps. after Aragonite (Matioli Coll.)

Item Description

A fine miniature 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. Here we have a beautiful example of this material, especially since there are multiple pseudomorphs intergrown on the same piece, which is uncommon!! The embedded copper oxides add color and character. 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. Ex Matioli Collection.
