RM3747   Chrysocolla, tenorite, Quartz
Cu₂-xAlx(H₂-xSi₂O₅)(OH)₄ · nH₂O, x<1
  -  9. Silicates

Good size specimen formed by numerous botryoidal aggregates of blue chrysocolla, scattered across a matrix primarily made of quartz. Underneath some of these bluish spheres, green radial aggregates corresponding to malachite. Tenorite is present as black globular aggregates. The contrast against the matrix is highly striking.
Although similar pieces initially circulated with erroneous labels attributing them to the Tentadora Mine (Pisco, Ica), the locality was subsequently corrected and confirmed by R. Lavinstky and U. Kolitsch as originating from the Julcani mining district (Huancavelica).

Size: 9.2 x 7.9 x 7 cm.

Cu₂-xAlx(H₂-xSi₂O₅)(OH)₄ · nH₂O, x<1
  -  9. Silicates

A highly aesthetic specimen composed of numerous blue botryoidal chrysocolla aggregates scattered across a quartz-rich matrix. Beneath several of these bluish spheres, radiating green sprays of malachite are clearly visible. It also features khaki-colored opaline masses with conchoidal fracture (inclusion-rich chrysocolla), providing striking contrast against the matrix.
