About Shattuckite

A shattuckite é um marcante mineral de silicato de cobre que apresenta cores azul-celeste vívidas a turquesa profundo com um lustre sedoso. Ocorre em zonas de oxidação de depósitos de cobre, frequentemente associada à malaquite, azurite e crisocoela, com os melhores exemplares provenientes do Arizona (EUA), Namíbia e República Democrática do Congo. É muito apreciada em cabuchões e objetos esculpidos pela sua cor intensa e padrões ornamentais.
