A beautiful specimen of jet-black botryoidal heterogenite dripped over a plate of deep blue chrysocolla. Both minerals are botryoidal, rounded and not crystalline. Apart, they would not be nearly as appealing. However, the stark contrast of the two together creates something new. This is a super display sized piece from a famous find of this combination, now perhaps 5-6 years ago. Ex. Charlie Key.
