A sculptural masterpiece of vibrant, copper-infused color. Known locally as 'Guichi,' this rare 137g Aragonite specimen from the Dachang Mine is a study in saturated turquoise and seafoam hues. We selected this piece for its extraordinary fibrous habit and the organic, columnar structure that gives it an almost coral-like appearance. The striking blue-green pigment, a direct result of copper mineralization, is beautifully accented by earthy copper inclusions and crisp white zoning. It is a bold, high-contrast specimen that brings a sophisticated pop of color to any curated mineral collection.
