Why This Specimen is Significant for Collectors

  • Exceptional Colour and Texture: Shattuckite is admired for its deep, electric blue hue and distinctive fibrous or radial crystal formations, which make each specimen unique.

  • Rarity and Collectible Value: High-quality shattuckite specimens are rare, sourced from only a few select localities, increasing their desirability among serious collectors.

  • Scientific and Aesthetic Appeal: As a secondary copper mineral, shattuckite forms in oxidised zones of copper deposits, providing insight into geological processes while offering a naturally striking appearance.

Shattuckite is a copper silicate mineral first identified in Shattuck, Arizona, USA, and valued for its intense blue colour. It often occurs in fibrous, radial, or botryoidal formations, sometimes intergrown with other copper minerals such as malachite or azurite. Its vibrant colour and unique crystal habit make it a visually captivating addition to any collection.

This shattuckite specimen combines rare mineral formation, striking colour, and scientific interest, making it ideal for:

  • Dedicated mineral collectors seeking high-impact display pieces

  • Geology enthusiasts studying secondary copper minerals

  • Anyone building a collection of visually exceptional and locality-specific specimens
