Large Dioptase & Chrysocolla (old classic - 1970s finds)

Item Description

Sparkly, gemmy, tiny rich emerald-green dioptase crystals fill two sculptural vugs along with coatings of turquoise-blue and light sky-blue chrysocolla on this colorful, rich and very showy old specimen from Morenci. Morenci Mine and Arizona dioptases are difficult to obtain, in general, in large and fine specimens such as this. These fine combinations resemble those from the famous Mammoth Mine. These were recovered by Wayne Thompson in the mid-1970s. Classic and rare large Arizona combination material. Valued at $800-1000.
