Chrysocolla pseudomorph with Malachite, Quartz
specimen number:
9505326
location:
Tenke-Fungurume, Kolwezi, Lualaba, DR Congo
description: From recent find in the Congo, prismatic crystals of what were likely azurite or barite, even possibly gypsum, to 4.5 cm in length now replaced by bright blue chrysocolla. These are extra nice as the chrysocolla is then coated with a sugary sparkling micro quartz. In very good condition for one of these, minor green malachite present as seen.
