Item Description

Beautiful, scintillating, turquoise-blue, turquoise microcrystals richly cover both sides of the quartz matrix wedge on this excellent two-sided piece from the Bishop Mine. Lynch Station arguably produces the world's finest crystalized turquoise. Crystallized turquoise is for some reason a true rarity in nature and occurs only at a VERY few localities worldwide. This is a rich, sparkly, beautiful example of this historic rare material. Valued at $500.
