Polished Chrysocolla Nodule
Collection
Robert Lavinsky
Description
A gorgeous polished nodule of gem grade carving rough of the best color of Chrysocolla and Quartz mixed together along with Malachite (the Malachite in the form of needle-like inclusions). This is classic old material for the mine, but seldom do you see such large nodules still around as they have always been, and remain, desirable for lapidary use. The colors here are both particularly intense and contrasting. From the Rice Northwest Museum collection, originally donated by its founders Richard and Helen Rice (cat #207). Weight is 2 pounds. Joe Budd Photos.
