Chrysocolla ( pseudo Gypsum? )

LOCATION:

Ray Mine, Ray District, near Kearney, Dripping Springs Mts., Pinal County, Arizona, USA

DESCRIPTION:

Botryoidal, robin-egg blue Chrysocolla covers this specimen and hosts numerous, greenish-blue Chrysocolla pseudomorphs after an unknown elongated mineral, possibly Gypsum. Some of the pseudomorphs are doubly terminated and up to 28 mm long. Although there is some minor damage, this is a fine and large example from the Ray Mine, Arizona. This would make an outstanding addition to any Arizona collection.

SIZE: 124 x 92 x 50 mm overall (Large Cabinet)
         with up to 28 mm pseudomorphs
