SOLD
A classic, old-time specimen of very colorful chrysocolla which is a double pseudomorph, having replaced a 3-dimensional rosette of malachite that was itself pseudomorphing azurite blades, all sitting in a curved vug coated with bubbly goethite. This is an excellent old-timer from the Whim Creek Copper Mine of Western Australia. These replacements came out over 20 years ago.
