This is simply an incredibly showy mineral specimen. This gigantic nodule of bright greenish-turquoise Chrysocolla is awe-inspiring. This natural specimen has the quintessential color collectors look for when acquiring this material. There is a "river" of botryoidal velvety Chrysocolla crystals, which bisect this "vug" almost is half. There is a nice dichotomy between the vibrant bluish Chrysocolla and the natural tone of the host rock. This piece is big and heavy, but the color and form make it worthy of presentation.

Provenance: Central Coast Collection
