Item Description

Shattuckite is an uncommon copper silicate named after the Type Locality Shattuck Mine at Bisbee. Pretty cornflower-blue botryoids and a nifty banded vug of shattuckite are beautifully accented with primary malachite. Shattuckite crusts and more malachite are richly strewn on all sides of the massive, milky quartz matrix. Ex Charlie Key dealer stock. Highly representative and showy combination material from this find.
