Shattuckite with Chrysocolla - Kaokoveld, Namibia

🔬 Scientific Description

This exceptional specimen features deep blue shattuckite and chrysocolla encapsulated within a massive quartz matrix. The exposed vug reveals concentric layering of copper silicates, forming a striking contrast between the vivid blue mineral interior and the translucent quartz host.

The intricate botryoidal textures indicate gradual precipitation from copper-bearing fluids in the oxidation zone of a hydrothermal deposit. The combination of shattuckite’s velvety blue with quartz’s transparency results in a piece both geologically complex and visually captivating.
