Chuquicamata Mine, Calama, El Loa Province
Antofagasta Region, Chile
5.6 x 4 x 2.7 CM (small cabinet/ large miniature)

new year 2021
Bright blue to blue green masses of glassy Krohnkite from the type locality at Chuquicamata. A very colorful and rare mineral, this Copper Sulfate was only found in display grade specimens long ago. From every other locality worldwide I am unaware of any specimens over a few millimeters in size. This specimen is rich and colorful on all sides, there are no distinct crystals just masses and seams of Krohnkite.
