Copper pseudomorph after Aragonite, et al. (large specimen!)

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. 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, but the most impressive aspect of the specimen is the size! Specimens of this size are rarely seen from this locality. Typically, when the specimens reach such a large szie, they tend to be rather distorted and rounded, and this piece has fairly sharp and well defined faces. There is a light coating of Malachite and Chrysocolla on virtually every side of the piece, along with little spots of deep red Cuprite and bright blue Connellite. Lastly, the piece is not a single pseudomorph, but rather a PAIR of intergrown crystals, which is only seen in a small percentage of the pseudomorphs from Corocoro. Take my word for it, this specimen is a fine example of this material. There has not been any significant amount of these specimens on the market in approximately 25 years, and they are often only found in old collections. Valued at $650 retail.
