First-rate LARGE plate of partially gemmy! blue-green botryoidal Chrysocolla coating a plate of botryoidal Heterogenite. The luster on both minerals is superb, and the pics cannot possibly do the exceptional aesthetics of this piece justice. Lustrous and well-balanced with a dynamite color contrast, this in excellent condition and is complete all the way around. Even the small base is healed, with new growth of Heterogenite on it.
