	Native Silver Specimen #Key05 Uchucchacua Mine Oyon Province Lima Department Peru 2.5 x 2.0 x 1.1cm Thumbnail $85 This specimen consists of a mass of exquisitely formed silver wire perched on top of matrix.  Looking close at the matrix it displays a very familiar pink color that I believe might be rhodochrosite.  Hey, two bangs for your buck!   A very attractive silver combination specimen in my humble opinion. Enjoy! Please Note: This specimen has been damaged.  The larger silver xl has broken off the piece.  I believe it is repairable and feel it could still be an attractive and displayable specimen given a good repair job.  Purchase any other specimen in the clearnace room or from any other page on my site and I will include this piece at no extra charge.  How's that for a deal?  Please mention this deal in your e-mail to me.

Atacamite, Chrysocolla, Pseudomalachite, Halloysite Specimen #Key08 8.3 x 5.7 x 2.5cm Small Cabinet La Farola Mine, Cerro Pintado Tierra Amarilla, Copiapó Province Atacama Region, Chile Type Locality $35 There is a whole lot going on with this rock. It's comprised of a base rock that's been covered (or painted over) with multiple generations or depositions of mineral species. There's a generation of blue botryoidal chrysocolla forming a base or possibly initial generation. On top of that there is a bit of pseudomalachite, and possibly olivenite. The large dark green sprays are atacamite, measuring up to 2.0cm. There is also a coating of white micro botryoidal crystals which we believe to be halloysite. They could also be kaolinite, but we're pretty sure that they're halloysite. There is a bit of "chipping" or "fraying" around the edges of this specimen. This is a very colorful and showy specimen none the less. Enjoy!
