A superblarge plate of rolling hillocks of intense deep blue chrysocolla. The shine and luster and overall brightness is incredible. Even in minimal light, it throws off color like a shimmering metallic layer of cloth. It is one of the best of this material I have seen from a major find about 3-4 years ago now. Ex. Charlie Key.
