Copper pseudomorphs after Aragonite Corocoro, Bolivia Surprising pseudos because copper has none of the constituents of aragonite. The substitution accurred because the aragonite provided the slight basicity needed in reduction of copper ions to the metal and in so doing the aragonite got itself dissolved! 2cm. These specimens from $48 each |
Ruby in Zoisite Tanzania, Africa 5 to 6 cm pieces with green zoisite crust.; cleaved and carefully selected for color. Good for lapidary work too $25 each piece. |
