[Wider shot] [Outside of nodule] [Another angle, with ruler comparison] [As we found this piece!] [Another outside shot]This is a sensational Chrysocolla mineral ... specimen(?) ... rough(?)!!! I considered it to be a fantastic specimen, but the buyer of this piece could choose to use it as rough (ah! - my heart!) instead. We recently acquired the collection of a gentleman that personally collected all kinds of rough specimens and rock all over California and Oregon between the 1950's and 1980's. Imagine our surprise when we came across this large, unassuming nodule, with a piece of plumber's tape wrapped around it (visible in the photo slide show). We carefully unwrapped it from the tape, separated the two sides to discover the gorgeous display inside. It looks to us to have mostly Chrysocolla, with some Malachite, and a little Cuprite (we think) in it as well. It appears that the nodule was separated along a fracture line, it has not been cut, and the inside is very rough and uneven with the crystals growing along the fracture. With both sides together, it is very roughly 7" x 5" x 6" and weighs 9 lbs (4 kg).
