Stunning, 5.3" Blue Botryoidal Shattuckite Specimen - Namibia
This is an absolutely gorgeous, 5.3" wide formation of light blue to dark blue, botryoidal shattuckite that was collected from the Onderra Mine in Namibia. Two edges of the specimen are relatively flat and work for aesthetic presentation.
Shattuckite is a scarce copper mineral highly regarded for its vivid blue color. It is named after the Shattuck Mine in Bisbee, Arizona, where this mineral was first discovered. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic–dipyramidal crystal system and usually occurs in a granular massive form or as fibrous acicular crystals.
