Elegant multi-layer specimen of Shattuckite, Dioptase and Chrysocolla. Dioptase crystals are grown on a thin crust of the rare copper silicate-hydroxide Shattuckite. Dioptases have rich green color, strong luster and are slightly gemmy. Shattuckite has botryoidal habit and blue color. One light blue Chrysocolla layer is in front. The specimen has strong contrast. In very good condition – some contacts (seen on the photos). On acrylic base.
Cute specimen!
