Item Description
A striking, sculptural, curved shattuckite vug is crowned with a cluster of sparkly primary malachite and quartz. The wing-like vugs are lined with pretty powder-blue, banded shattuckite. The botryoids in the vug interiors are coated with sparkly, drusy quartz. This showy and excellent specimen is from the Charlie Key dealer stock. Highly representative material from this find in quality but a superb piece overall, as the architecture of the piece is striking. Valued highly!
