Item Description

Paratacamite is a relatively uncommon copper-zinc oxyhalide. Sharp, highly lustrous, very dark green crystals are nicely set in a protected vug of beautiful chrysocolla-infused quartz crystals. Excellent showy combination material from this locale and find (about 2006-2007). Rarely seen on market, now! Valued $250-350
