Chrysocolla pseudomorph with Malachite, Quartz
specimen number:
9505318
location:
Tenke-Fungurume, Kolwezi, Lualaba, DR Congo
description: From recent find in the Congo, 2020, crystals of what appear to have been either azurite or barite, maybe even gypsum, to 5.0 cm in height now replaced by bright blue chrysocolla forming a neat cluster. This is partially coated with orange brown micro crystalline quartz. Green malachite present as well. Minimal micro-chipping present, I think this in great condition for one of these. Very attractive.
Size: 10.5 x 6.0 x 5.5 cm (cabinet)
