Shattuckite on Smoky Quartz (Charlie Key)

Item Description

Shattuckite is an uncommon copper silicate named after the Type Locality Shattuck Mine at Bisbee. A sculptural vug is lined with pretty powder-blue, banded shattuckite and is filled with darker blue shattuckite botryoids with a very sparkly overgrowth of drusy quarz. The vug rests on massive, smoky quartz, which is a very nice contrast to this showy and excellent specimen from the Charlie Key dealer stock. Highly representative combination material from this find. The architecture and color of the sparkly vug is beautiful.
