Sonora Sunrise/Sunet Chrysocolla Slab

This rare and uncommonly striking material comes from the northwestern region of Sonora, Mexico and is known for its amazing color play of blue-green chrysocolla and red cuprite, which in some specimens is also contrasted with fantastic inclusions of black tenorite. This slab is showing an excellent display of all three minerals: tenorite thickly surrounds two prominent cuprite formations, while the chrysocolla pools around these areas, along with some inclusions of white limestone. This slab shows all the desirable characteristics of this highly sought-after material - lots of contrast and drama. Definitely one of the most vibrant sources of red out there. Some killer cabs are sure to come out of this one!

This is a rough, unpolished, end cut slab. Please observe images closely for flaws, as some degree of that is normal. Pictured wet and dry.
