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 other sides. 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.
