Copper (leaf-like specimen)

Copper (leaf-like specimen)A very attractive locality specimen, and a surprise discovery from early 2011. These are the only Copper sheets that I have seen from Corocoro, and according to the locals, there were very few found. Most people are familiar with the Copper pseudomorphs after Aragonite from this locality, but to find non pseudomorphic, native Copper is rather rare in my experience. This aesthetic, branching, "sheet" of Copper is a great display specimen from this

prismatic crystal of Vivianite which is associated with beautifully contrasting golden Childrenite aggregates

This piece is one of those famous specimens to come out of Morococala during the "Vivianite Boom"

Specimen # BOL711B15

great and form and in such good condition

which is one of my favorite phenomena in the mineral world

The stacked appearance of the crystals

This piece features a beautiful “sunburst”-like spray of pleasing green color Ludlamite with good luster
