Beautiful cluster of Chrysocolla blades that is outstanding for its color and its architecture. It is equally amazing that something so seemingly fragile has only suffered the most minimal of damage in only one tiny spot near the base. Nearly pristine, and as aesthetic as can be, this is a killer. These form as replacements after selenite and were generally found 30-40 years ago, by and large.
