I've seen some from Lone Pine CA. It was mostly white quartz with thin veins of chrysacolla running through it. I'll have to check it out this weekend.

Hi Mary Ann, Very pretty material. Looks like mostly chrysocolla in quartz but the deeper blue sure looks like shattuckite. Could even be azurite. The one slice with red in it is probably hematite. It could possibly be cuprite but not likely. I think you are right though, it should be a big hit. Rodney

Looks just like the stuff that I got from Jamie. We have that here in AZ also. It cabs up very nicely, I like it more than regular chrysocolla.
