Item Description
Exceptional specimen of the highly desirable species, Shattuckite, associated with Malachite and Quartz. Among the variations of texture and color that you see, my favorite, by far, is the deep royal blue Shattuckite of this style. The color saturation is incredible, best known for species. This velvety pocket, which measures 8 cm x 4 cm, has the finest color and texture that I have seen. There is none better. The complete pocket is here, frozen within massive quartz matrix which protected it. Valued $1500
