Aurichalcite, Kelly Mine, Magdalena Mining District, Socorro County, New Mexico, USA
An outstanding, richly endowed thumbnail specimen of tiffany-blue, acicular Aurichalcite, beautifully accented by brown goethite spheres along with clear, to white, to Kelly-blue botryoids of pearlescent Smithsonite. The piece has a striking 3-D aspect, featuring a completely crystallized “overhang” element.
