Item Description

A dramatic, incredibly sculptural combination shattuckite specimen from the Charlie Key dealer stock. The elongate vug in solid, banded shattuckite is totally lined with sparkly, blue-tinted, drusy quartz and accented with a few quartz points. The hole through the shattuckite adds a surreal aspect to the piece and the large band of scintillating, primary malachite on one side adds even more panache. The hole does not penetrate the vug. Definitely one of the most unusual looking, yet artistic shattuckite and malacite specimens we have offered at auction. Very highy desirable. Valued at $800-1000.
