Scorodite - Hezhou, Guangxi Autonomous Region, China

An amazing small cabinet specimen, consisting of a ridge of pyrite crystals with scorodite crystals on top. The scorodite crystals are bright blue and reach 12 mm across. Excellent arrangement; if the buyer wishes this specimen could trim into a fine miniature specimen as well. The whole display surface is actually curved inwards, so that the scorodite crystals present themselves forward from the pyrite matrix. This actually creates a focusing problem, as seen in the photographs. Excellent!
