Natural Shattuckite with Chrysocolla & Malachite
Rough Shattuckite specimens with Chrysocolla & Malachite,
Shattuckite is a striking copper silicate hydroxide mineral known for its orthorhombic - bipyramidal crystal structure. Found in massive granular and fibrous forms, it closely resembles Plancheite. Our Namibian specimens range in color from light to deep blue. Some feature unique botryoidal, needle-like, or fibrous formations, with the latest deposit producing rare cauliflower-like pieces, often associated with Duftite.MINERALS
