Scorodite (2008 find)

Item Description

This showy and vuggy piece is richly covered with sparkling scorodite crystals. The crystals, to 5 mm, have variously a blue or blue-green surface sheen, are high in luster and are gemmy to opaque. This 2008 find was the FIRST new worldwide find of scorodites in many years! This is a major discovery and the gemmy specimens, such as this, were not that common. This is a highly representative piece from the lot, with isolated crystals.
