Shattuckite with Quartz and Chrysocolla - Kaokoveld, Namibia

🔬 Scientific Description

This impressive specimen features a lustrous layer of vivid blue shattuckite crystals intergrown with translucent quartz. A thin underlying band of chrysocolla adds a gradient of color from deep azure to soft aqua-green.

The surface displays fine quartz druse over a botryoidal copper-silicate structure, highlighting the mineral’s secondary origin within oxidized copper veins. Its linear shape and layered zoning indicate steady silica and copper deposition over time, making it a textbook example of Namibian copper silicate mineralization.
