11.5 x 8.4 x 4.4 cm. A very colorful and dramatic chrysocolla specimen from a new find at a very obscure Peruvian locale. Gorgeous, waxy lustre, multi-hued and multi-layered, bubbly chrysocolla botryoids cover the matrix on this excellent piece. The bright and rich sky-blue outer layer predominates with underlying layers of teal-green and green peering out and adding contrast. Impressive and colorful large banded chrysocolla from this new find.
