This is a very pretty, very busy shattuckite specimen from the Congo. It's deep blue and bright blue, botryoidal, and nestled on top of quartz, with just a hint of smoky quartz 'cos it doesn't have enough going on to start with.
Shattuckite forms around copper ore deposits, composed of oxidized copper, portions of water molecules, and silicon. It is a vibrant and diversely textured mineral that forms in intense light to deep blues. It often forms around other dramatic copper-derived minerals like malachite, chrysocolla, and azurite.
Shattuckite is often associated with intuition and psychic ability and is said to strengthen communication that resolves differences or brings about balance.
