Item Description
A great specimen of this rare copper silicate featuring a wonderful coverage of beautiful blue, radiating Shattuckite. Up close, the crystallization is excellent, and really eye catching. This material is fresh out of the ground from Tantara in 2014. Please note this is NOT from Namibia, and was analyzed / confirmed at the University of Arizona - although it most likley does contain a small amount of Plancheite and possibly Ajoite. If you're a collector of this material, don't miss out on this eye-catching, displayable, cabinet display specimen. Rarely does one encounter larger display specimens of this hard to find species, especially with such attractive form. Priced at $2500.
