Atacamite with Chrysocolla

San Manuel Mine, near Tiger, Pinal Co., Arizona

9.5cm x 3.9cm x 2.56cm

Ex. Tony Nikischer Collection No. 64


Description/Interesting Notes:

A unique, old time example of atacamite from Arizona!!! This unusual specimen consists of a very dense mass of intergrown crystals of deep, emerald green atacamite in association with greenish chrysocolla!!! Upon close inspection, one can see that the atacamite crystals are present as intergrown, radiating groups of elongated, prismatic crystals!!! In some instances the atacamite crystals are surrounded by massive chrysocolla!!! There are also areas where isolated crystals are suspended in the massive green chyrsocolla!!! In person the atacamite crystals are quite dynamic and this specimen is simplyk fascinating upon close examination!!! Some of the atacamite crystals have significant length and even small areas of gemminess!!! Examples of atacamite from this locality are very rare indeed!!! This locality was located just a few thousand feet from the famed Mammoth-Saint Anthony Mine at Tiger!!! Old material!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the collection of Tony Nikischer and retains an original collection label as well!!! We just acquired the 6000+ specimen PERSONAL collection of Tony Nikischer and there are going to be some very exciting minerals to come in the upcoming days and weeks!!!
