These are perched on top of extremely lustrous crystals of primary malachite to about 1 inch (i.e. malachite formed first as a large crystal rather than as a replacement of previous azurite as you normally see from Tsumeb or Bisbee...and quite rare in such size and quality). These alone would comand a pretty good price in such a miniature, with malachite of this quality. However, to cap it off, the malachite sets atop a rolling matrix of INTENSE BLUE quartz crystals, colored by shattuckite inclusions. Then, those quartzes site atop a thick layer of shattuckite on matrix...its just an incredible combination.

The deep-blue copper mineral takes its name straight from the Shattuck Mine at Bisbee, in the copper country of southern Arizona, where it was first found in 1915[1].\n\nIt belongs to the copper silicates — minerals built from copper, silicon and oxygen. It is a secondary mineral, meaning it does not crystallise from fresh magma but forms later, when water and air alter copper minerals already in the ground[2]. At the Shattuck Mine it grew by replacing malachite, the common green copper carbonate, atom for atom while keeping the original crystal's outward shape. A replacement of that kind is a pseudomorph — a false form, one mineral wearing another's outline[2].\n\nIn the rock it usually shows up as a solid blue mass, sometimes as fine needle-like crystals — acicular is the mineralogist's word — gathered into tiny radiating balls[3]. Those forms, and its colour, made it easy to confuse with the closely related blue mineral plancheite, which it resembles in both structure and appearance[3].","claude-opus-4-8","1.7.0",{"markdown":502,"model_version":499,"prompt_version":500,"reviewed_at":11},"Shattuckite has no industrial job. It is far too rare to be mined for its copper, and nothing in modern industry depends on it. Its one practical use is ornamental: the solid blue masses are sometimes cut and polished as a gemstone[1][2].\n\nBeyond that, shattuckite is mostly a collector's mineral. It is sought for its deep blue colour and for its tie to the famous copper mines of Bisbee, Arizona, rather than for anything done with it."]
