Item Description

11 sharp, highly lustrous, very dark green crystal clusters of paratacamite (to 5mm) are aesthetically clustered in a large protected curved vug of beautiful sparkly and glassy chrysocolla-infused quartz crystals. 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!
