Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Aragonite, Copper
Locality: Manto Cuba Mine, San Pedro de Cachiyuyo District, Inca de Oro, Chañaral Province, Atacama Region, Chile (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: cabinet, 20.2 x 9.3 x 7.9 cm
Aragonite with copper inclusions
This is a beautiful specimen, pure and simple. Regardless of anything else. The surreal blue color looks fake, painted. However, the color is actually due to copper inclusions. Note the obvious presence of a rare green mineral in small , sharp crystals: probably libethenite or brochantite. Both are found at the mine, and I have a sample sent out for analysis now.
