Item Description
Shattuckite specimens from the famous Mashamba West Mine are very rare. Chatoyant radial sprays of pretty powder-blue acicular crystals cover all sides of this showy example of this rare copper silicate species. Pods, seams and coatings of primary malachite are a colorful accent. Very rich and rare material from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. Valued by Herb at $300, five or more years ago.
