Shattuckite with Chrysocolla and Quartz - Kaokoveld, Namibia

🔬 Scientific Description

This banded specimen displays alternating layers of vivid blue shattuckite, turquoise chrysocolla, and microcrystalline quartz. The distinct stratification highlights repeated hydrothermal deposition events in copper-rich veins. The outer quartz layer provides a glistening contrast to the opaque inner silicate zones, emphasizing both mineralogical and visual depth.

Such specimens are typical of Namibia’s secondary copper deposits, where oxidation and silica replacement create stunning natural banding.
