Gorgeous botryoidal Shattuckite with rich blue color from a new find. The secondary Copper silicate Shattuckite form delicate curved cluster of well shaped and complete spheres. They have very pleasing blue color and velvet appearance. The Shattuckite is crystallized on dark brown host base with very small green Malachites. Shattuckite wraps the base, and cannot be removed, but it is not firmly attached on it and moves. For references see the issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 44, # 5. In good condition – some small imperfections.

Killer blue balls!
