A particularly fine example of chrysocolla on quartz, from a location that has been producing specimens for approximately the last year. Most of these are somewhat smaller, and the quartz is coated with dark iron oxides. This is one of the larger single crystals I have seen-- these are typically found as jumbled clusters, and they usually get busted up into individual crystals prior to being offered for sale. What is more, the termination is intact and it has better transparency that about 98% of these.
