Superlative, sparkly, best color, sky-blue turquoise microcrystals richly cover matrix on this stunning thumbnail specimen from the locality with the best turquoise crystals in the world - the Bishop Mine at Lynch Station, Virginia. Discrete, well-formed turquoise crystals are very rare in nature. Classic for the old locality, and seldom seen today. Ex. Irv Brown Collection.
