Description:

Lovely mess of minerals going on. We’ve got primarily a matrix of feldspar crystals with the main central crystal stained with secondary copper. Chrysocolla maybe? Then we have some schorl crystals trying to steal the show by popping up all around the front and center. But what sold it for me was the thin crust of hyalite opal coating the schorl. I love me some fluorescent surprises.
