Shattuckite (2014 find)

Item Description

Beautiful sky-blue color on this amazingly sculptural, amoeba-like cluster of intergrown shattuckite botryoids from a limited 2014 find at this less well-known extinct open pit copper mine, worked occasionally for specimens. The bottom shows, that this is a solid crust of shattuckite, a rare Cu-silicate. The artistic form of this piece is remarkable and is certainly one of the finer examples in the small lot we recently received. Valued at $300 by the former dealer and worth it.
