Shattuckite

New Cornelia Mine (Ajo Mine), Ajo, Little Ajo Mts, Ajo District, Pima Co., Arizona

11.7cm x 7.6cm x .6cm

Ex. A. J. Beres Collection No. A-1557


Description/Interesting Notes:

A magnificent, old time example of shattuckite from this classic Arizona locality!!! This specimen hosts a striking showing of deep, intense royal blue LAPIDARY grade shattuckite!!! This shattuckite is actually very well crystallized - with slightly chatoyant, deeply colored sprays visible throughout!!! The shattuckite is extremely dense and compact as well!!! This is truly incredible material!!! There is a picture that shows a close up of the edge of the specimen where one can see the sprays in three dimensions and get a sense of just how compact and finely crystallized it is!!! There are also a few pictures of the reverse (that has the old Beres collection catalogue number on it) which has been cut and polished but not to a high luster like the opposite side - however even this side is quite impressive in and of itself (you can actually get a different sense of the crystals as well)!!! In addition to the shattuckite, there are also numerous small masses of blue-green ajoite scattered around the perimeter as well!!! The intensely colored veinlets of shattuckite that snake throught the outer rim of matrix are quite aesthetic as well!!! This is simply an AMAZING old time example of shattuckite from Arizona!!! A classic beauty indeed!!! You rarely see such fine examples of Arizona shattuckite!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!!
