Polished Chrysocolla & Shattuckite Slab
Sonora, Mexico
5.25 x 2.88 x 0.39 inches (13.34 x 7.32 x 0.99 cm)

This polished slab reveals a striking interplay of Chrysocolla and Shattuckite, minerals prized for their vivid blue-green hues. The surface shifts from deep, shadowy indigo to glowing turquoise, with patches of lighter veining that lend an almost otherworldly depth. Darker regions create a dramatic contrast, suggesting stormy skies or pools of midnight water caught in stone. Highly polished on one face, the slab showcases the full spectrum of colors, while the rough reverse preserves its natural character. A mesmerizing specimen, it carries both aesthetic appeal and a mysterious presence that feels especially suited to the season.

Estimate: $300 - up.
