Item Description
An attractive specimen with a colorful, well-placed, sculptural vug in smoky quartz. Highly lustrous, primary malachite plates beautifully compliment the lovely crayon-blue shattuckite. The luster is excellent, because of a thin coating of microscopic quartz druse covering the shattuckite, making the shattuckite sparkle like a new field of clean blue snow. An excellent, highly representative specimen.
