Mystery Copper-Based Mineral Rough - Green and Red from Quartzsite Collection Sumatra metallic inclusions painted-like banded formationsMystery Copper Based Mineral from an old stock collection, appearing to be a copper based mineral complex. We are unsure of the exact identification candidates include Cuprite, Chrysocolla, or Malachite, or some combination. Visually, it presents attractive green and red coloration. This piece came from a collection assembled by someone who often traveled and rockhounded around Quartzsite, Arizona, which may be a clue to the source. SPECIFICATIONS
