This copper sulfate hydroxide is particularly attractive in its blue-green coloration, forming delicate, densely packed acicular to fibrous crystal aggregates. This specimen, collected in 2005, features an especially fine, fuzzy appearance, with countless slender needles creating a soft, almost velvety surface. Its excellent chatoyancy produces a striking silky, shifting sheen as light moves across the fibres, giving the specimen considerable visual depth and appeal. Brochantite from the Sierra Gorda district is documented in several fibrous and acicular forms, making this an especially attractive example of its distinctive crystal habit. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize 13.5 x 7.3 x 6.6 Cm\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight 800g\u003cbr\u003e\n( Conversion: 1 inch = 2.5cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin: Sierra Gorda, Antofagasta Region, Chile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that this is a natural product, sometimes stones and crystals have small imperfections and blemishes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMake sure to double check measurements and view all the photos before making a purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy purchasing from Spirit Nectar you agree to comply with all of my shop policies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrystal will be shipped with protective padding.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spirit Nectar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68022200500591,"sku":"Brochantite- X","price":855.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0888\/7913\/7135\/files\/il_fullxfull.8793636850_lyd3.jpg?v=1793805173"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.spiritnectar.com\/collections\/brochantite.oembed","provider":"Spirit Nectar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
