  • .Lapis Lazuli / Sodalite Slab: A substantial rough chunk displaying a deep denim-blue body, interlaced with white calcite veining and visible metallic pyrite inclusions.
  • Green Fluorite Crystal: A semi-translucent, pale seafoam-green specimen showcasing prominent, clean geometric cleavage planes and a vitreous luster.
  • Malachite & Chrysocolla Matrix Stones: Multiple specimens showcasing rich, secondary copper mineralization, featuring vibrant forest-green botryoidal crusts and teal-blue coatings over dark, iron-stained host rock.
  • Mixed Secondary Copper Minerals: Additional specimens highlighting bright yellow-green to lime-yellow druzy formations (consistent with adamite or conichalcite) interspersed with multi-colored copper bases.

The specimens range from fine crystalline clusters to durable carving-grade rough material. The entire collection is housed and neatly contained within a vintage 1886 wooden cigar box, which is included with the lot.
