Item Description

Shattuckite is an uncommon copper silicate named after the Type Locality Shattuck Mine at Bisbee. Pretty powder-blue shattuckite botryoids are very aesthetically clustered on sculptural masssive smoky quartz. A nifty "wall" of smoky quartz separating the botryoids is a very nice touch. Showy and excellent specimen from the Charlie Key dealer stock. Highly representative combination material from this find.
