Papagoite is a very rare calcium, copper, aluminum silicate hydroxide. This is a superb, unpolished natural quartz crystal that displays a rich zone of concentrated, blue papgoite inclusions. This fine piece is from the small, 1985 find from the Messina Mine of South Africa. The papgoite phantom is beautiful. Ex. Rob Smith Collection, who marketed the 1985 find.
