This is rare and it is hard to get cabs that have nice color definition. This material is from the Ray mine (near Tucson) and was discovered in a pocket of gem grade material that was mined in the early 70's.

The colors are, Chrysocholla, Malachite, and Tinerite mixed in this material is nice and the pictures really do not do the stones justice. The colors are much more intense and bright than I could capture in the photos, although they do give you a good idea of what these cabs look like.

Note: I think (I do not know for sure) these cabs have been Opti-con'd. Which basically means there is a very thin clear coat of polymar over the top of the cabs to help them wear better.
