Item Description
This large display quality specimen features a huge and completely exposed pocket of velvety Shattuckite set in massive Quartz. The pocket itself is nearly 4 inches across: 9 cm x 5.5 cm. Shattuckite of this deep blue variety is very showy, and to have it so visible is exceptional. There is a small amount of primary Malachite, which adds visual and mineralogical interest. Easily one of the largest Shattuckite pockets we have had. Aesthetic and imposing. ex Charlie Key Collection
