This curvy specimen is a complete and total pocket of shattuckite, not yet split in half to see all of what is inside, but revealing at one end a 1.5 cm-long sheave of primary malachite. The contrast of brilliant green within the powdery blue pocket is striking. New material found the last few years, in Kaokoveld. Ex. Charlie Key.
