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 with lesser amounts of Chrysocolla on the backside. The drusy Quartz layer makes it even more vivid and bright.
A rare and showy example from an uncommon locality.
