Item Description
Bright, beautiful, greenish-blue, radial clusters of tyrolite crystals complimented with powder-blue chrysocolla richly cover the sculptural contrasting CABINET matrix on this fine piece from a classic Austrian locality - the Brixlegg - Schwaz area, Tyrol. Scattered small pods of azurite are a nifty accent. Tyrolite is an uncommon copper arsenate and this fine piece is from the Type Locality area. There is even more tyrolite and chrysocolla on the back. Ex John Sobolewski Collection.
