Chrysocolla fingers with Quartz coatings
Ray Mine, Ray District, Dripping Springs Mountain, Pinal county
Arizona, United States
3.6 x 2.1 x 1.2 CM (miniature)
price: $550
Late Summer 2021
A cluster of Chrysocolla "fingers" with perfect, undamaged tips from the Ray Mine,(Arizona, USA). Sometimes called stalactites, that is not technically correct as there is no central canal or hole in the middle. This has excellent turquoise color and a pearly luster. Close exam shows the thin layer of Quartz that is like a skin over the Chrysocolla. It is very hard to find such perfect examples with all the fingers intact. A colorful and classic USA copper specie.
