Item Description
Sharp, highly lustrous, very dark green crystal clusters of paratacamite are aesthetically scattered in a large protected vug of beautiful chrysocolla-infused quartz crystals accented with tiny sprays of gypsum blades. The well-placed large cluster is 1.0 cm across. Paratacamite is a relatively uncommon copper-zinc oxyhalide. Excellent showy combination material from this locale and find (about 2006-2007). Rarely seen on market, now!
