Shattuckite, Primary Malachite & Quartz

Item Description

A most sculptural, aesthetic and excellent shattuckite, primary malachite and quartz small cabinet specimen from recent finds in the Kaokoveld. A dramatically placed and artistic vug in massive quartz matrix is lined with banded powder-blue shattuckite. Tiny scintillating shattuckite-infused quartz crystals coat the conrasting rolling shattuckite botryoids in the vug. A striking large mass of highly lustrous, intergrown clusters of primary malachite blades crown the vug and is beautifully acented with a cap of more shattuckite. Bruising is noted to the malachite, but this remains an outstanding example of the combination species with beautiful form. Valued at $2250.
