Item Description
Beautiful and classic example of the highly-desired Shattuckite from the famous Kaokoveld, Namibia. The Shattuckite is a deep cornflower blue, and fills the vugs with a thick layer of very fine Shattuckite which terminates in an incredible velvety texture. The Shattuckite is accented by primary Malachite and Quartz. The largest of the three vugs is over 3 cm in length, and is complimented nicely by the other two both in size and quality. A distinctive, aesthetic specimen.
