Description

Polished Chrysocolla Slab
Bagdad Copper Mine
Yavapai County
Arizona
3.69 x 2.29 x 0.27 inches (9.36 x 5.82 x 0.69 cm)

The Bagdad Copper Mine has, not surprisingly, produced this little gem of a specimen. This tiny slab of vibrant bluish-green Chrysocolla has a broad vein of brown cutting across the smooth polished surface of this irresistible small example. Color is king when it comes to Chrysocolla, and this "palm-sized" slice does not disappoint in that aspect. A row of dendritic black "trees" bisects the slab from top to bottom.

[Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
