Shattuckite with Malachite and Quartz

Item Description

Large (8.6 cm), aesthetic crust of beautiful, radial Shattuckite, about 4 mm thick, completely coated with drusy white Quartz and a few Quartz crystals. The Quartz druse varies from translucent to opaque, creating the impression of freshly-driven snow that varyies from blue to white. For added accent, and greater aesthetics, there is a colorful (but partial) 1 cm blade of cleaved Malachite that looks almost like an iridescent leaf sitting on snow. Quite a good-looking, dramatic piece for something so simple. AND, IT IS MOST UNUSUAL, even amongst a recent large production of the last decade
