This stunning Blue Shattuckite specimen comes from the legendary copper-rich region of Katanga in the Democratic Republic of the Congo—one of the world’s most important localities for vibrant secondary copper minerals. The specimen displays rich deep blue to blue-green coloration, a hallmark of high-quality shattuckite, with excellent surface texture and natural crystal aggregation.
Shattuckite is a rare copper silicate mineral, prized for its intense color and association with other classic copper minerals such as malachite, chrysocolla, and dioptase. Specimens from Katanga are especially sought after due to their saturation, contrast, and aesthetic balance between color and form.
Compact yet visually powerful, this piece is ideal for both cabinet display and focused collections, offering strong visual impact without overwhelming size.
