A very unique and rare type of Shattuckite from Arizona. Shattuckite is a relatively rare copper silicate mineral. It was first discovered in 1915 in the copper mines of Bisbee, Arizona, specifically the Shattuck Mine (hence the name). The Ajo mine is probably where my rough came from. I have seen similar for sale on the internet. This material has a spider web appearance.

Azurite, a very popular gemstone used for cabochons because of its unparalleled color, a deep royal blue called "azure". It is normally found with Malachite, but can also be found with other copper ores, such as sky blue Shattuckite or red Cuprite.

Metaphysical

Azurite is believed to stimulate intellect as well as intuition, and is great for those studying new or challenging subjects. Shattuckite is known as the stone of truth. Shattuckite is a soothing and calming stone.

An 18 mm dime and 10 mm background squares in some pictures should help you with image sizing.

Finishing purchased slabs, I have created several posts that show how I create cabs, see my website blog on Designsbyshirl.com.

I use a full spectrum 45 w light bulb - photography photo CFL 5500K. It's a daylight balanced pure white light.

My first 2 pictures show the slab wet, this brings out the colors you should see in a finished product. Other pictures show items dry, this should show imperfections (small cracks or pits) if there are any. Translucent items will have at least one picture taken with a backlight.
