Chrysocolla - stalactitic with Quartz
Ball Park Bench, Ray Mine, Scott Mountain, Pinal County
Arizona, United States
4.6 x 1.6 x 1.3 CM (miniature)
price: $390
Early summer 2021
Long and unusually slender fingers of Chrysocolla are coated with a thin layer of translucent Quartz. The blue color of the Chrysocolla is still seen through the Quartz layer. Undamaged with fine form this cluster of stalactitic Chrysocolla is relatively thin, delicate and yet in fine condition. From recently rediscovered old boxes of the 1978 find at the Ray Mine, this is a choice example of a quality rarely available. A classic for Arizona and the USA this piece comes from the Ball Park Bench find. The Quartz is a milky overgrowth that is translucent so the entire specimen glows blue with backlighting.
