This is my newest favorite stone. i have always liked copper minerals but there is something really special about this unique stone.

This big chunky Shattuckite ring is a size 8 1/2 but can be sized from a 6 to a 10.

PLEASE CONTACT ME ABOVE WITH YOUR FINGER SIZE

This stone measures 30 by 20 mm or about 1 1/8 by 7/8 inches.

I have more rough Shattacktite and can send pictures to anyone interested in a ring or pendant made from this stone.

Shattuckite is a copper silicate hydroxide mineral and crystallizes in the orthorhombic – dipyramidal crystal system. It usually occurs in a granular massive form and also as fibrous acicular crystals. It is closely allied to plancheite in structure and appearance.

Shattuckite is a relatively rare copper silicate mineral. It was first discovered in 1915 in the copper mines of Bisbee, Arizona, specifically the Shattuck Mine (hence the name). It is a secondary mineral that forms from the alteration of other secondary minerals. At the Shattuck Mine, it forms pseudomorphs after malachite. A pseudomorph is an atom by atom replacement of a crystal structure by another crystal structure, but with little alteration of the outward shape of the original crystal.

This piece shows fine Azurite with Chrysocolla and Cuprite.
