Colorful and rare specimen of sparkling Quartz over Chrysocolla from an obscure Nevada copper mine. Bright turquoise-blue chrysocolla covers the majority of the front face most of the other surfaces. The drusy Quartz layer over parts of the Chrysocolla makes it even more vivid and bright. A rare and showy example from an uncommon locality.
