MST01 Shattuckite
Milpillas Mine, Cuitaca, Sonora, Mexico
10.7x 6.6x 5.2 cm
$600

My favorite example from the lot-- this one has numerous ball-like clusters of acicular shatuckite crystals set back slightly in a shallow vug.  The vug has actually sheltered the shatuckites, and allowed them to retain a degree of fuzziness that generally goes away as soon as they are touched.  The matrix is mostly a mixture of aurichalcite and chrysocolla, and the color contrast between the centrally positioned shattuckite and the lighter blue-green matrix makes for a particularly beautiful specimen.
