Shattuckite with Chrysocolla and Quartz (59.5 g) - Namibia

🔬 Scientific Description

This elegant specimen showcases layered blue-green shattuckite and chrysocolla embedded in a translucent quartz matrix. The open cavity reveals fine quartz druse overlying silky shattuckite bands, creating a natural contrast between rough host rock and vibrant copper silicates.

The mineral layering reflects multiple oxidation phases of copper ore, with silica deposition occurring during late hydrothermal activity. This composition and pattern are typical of the copper deposits of Namibia, known for their mineralogical diversity and vivid color intensity.
