Chrysocolla Quartz Vug

Chrysocolla Quartz Vug from Inspiration Mine, Inspiration, Globe-Miami District, Gila Co., Arizona

Collection

Robert Lavinsky

Description

A cute pocket of rounded Chrysocolla nubs, coated by a transparent, thin layer of Quartz which acts as a protective and sparkly coating. The pocket is within the nodule in which it formed, so you can see the context. A rare, larger example in good shape, that probably dates to prior to the 1970s. Joe Budd Photos.
